Acquisition and generalization of cough trigger beliefs in allergic rhinitis.
Article in Journal of behavioral medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In allergic conditions, trigger identification is often inaccurate, and may be influenced by pre-existing beliefs. In this study, we investigated the acquisition and generalization of symptom trigger beliefs in individuals with allergic rhinitis (n = 24) and control participants (n = 24). In a lab-based trigger acquisition task, unique exemplars of two trigger categories were either paired with saline inhalation (CS- category) or citric acid inhalation (CS+ category). The next day, we tested recognition and symptom expectancy for CS category exemplars and exemplars of novel trigger categories. Participants acquired differential symptom expectancies for CS+ compared to CS- exemplars, with faster acquisition in participants with rhinitis. Differential symptom expectancies persisted the next day, and generalized to novel trigger categories, with stronger generalization in rhinitis vs. control participants. These patterns of acquisition and generalization suggest that overgeneralization of trigger beliefs may complicate trigger identification in participants with allergic conditions.
