1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Prostanoids such as prostaglandin (PG) D(2), PGE(2), PGF(2alpha), prostacyclin (PGI(2)), and thromboxane (Tx) A(2) act via five classes of receptors named DP, EP, FP, IP, and TP, respectively, and mediate a diverse range of physiological effects. Prostanoids are commonly associated with many diseases as a proinflammatory mediator; however, in the lung, prostanoids, particularly PGE(2), seem to have a protective role. Inhaled PGE(2) has been shown to be anti-inflammatory and a bronchodilator but causes cough. This has hindered the development of prostanoids for the treatment of airway inflammatory diseases. We discuss here the extensive research into the role of prostanoids in the airways and their modulation of the cough reflex.
