Chronic Non-Productive Cough in Patients With Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the frequency of chronic cough due to dryness in the trachea and the relationship between depression and chronic cough in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). PATIENTS AND
methodsEighty non-smoking patients (7 males, 73 females; mean age 47.6±9.2 years; range 18 to 70 years) with newly diagnosed pSS were included. All patients were evaluated clinically, radiologically, and physiologically. Patients with cough were assessed using the Leicester Cough Questionnaire and visual analog scale. Beck Depression Inventory was used to determine the risk of depression in patients with cough. Patients with asthma, rhinosinusitis, gastrooesophageal reflux, and drug use which cause cough and pulmonary involvement in pSS were excluded.
resultsNon-productive cough was detected in 30 patients (37.5%). Fourteen patients (17.5%) were admitted to the hospital with cough at least once before the diagnosis of pSS. The median time between onset of symptoms and firm diagnosis was 24 months (25-75 interquartile ranges: 3-60 months). A significant difference was observed in the Beck Depression Inventory scores between patients with and without cough. There was a significant negative relationship between Leicester Cough Questionnaire and Beck Depression Inventory scores.
conclusionPatients with pSS often have symptoms for a long duration that mimic those of more commonly encountered non-specific pulmonary conditions. Xerotrachea should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic cough, especially in patients with normal pulmonary function tests and pulmonary imaging.
