Strategies for measuring airway mucus and mucins.
Review in Respiratory research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 papers.
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
Mucus secretion and mucociliary transport are essential defense mechanisms of the airways. Deviations in mucus composition and secretion can impede mucociliary transport and elicit airway obstruction. As such, mucus abnormalities are hallmark features of many respiratory diseases, including asthma, cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Studying mucus composition and its physical properties has therefore been of significant interest both clinically and scientifically. Yet, measuring mucus production, output, composition and transport presents several challenges. Here we summarize and discuss the advantages and limitations of several techniques from five broadly characterized strategies used to measure mucus secretion, composition and mucociliary transport, with an emphasis on the gel-forming mucins. Further, we summarize advances in the field, as well as suggest potential areas of improvement moving forward.
