Predictors of the Development of Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis following Presentation to Healthcare for an Acute Respiratory Illness with Cough: Analysis of Three Cohort Studies.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
We describe the prevalence and risk factors for protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) following healthcare presentation for an acute cough illness in children. Data from three studies of the development of chronic cough (CC) in children were combined. PBB was defined as a wet cough of at least 4-weeks duration with no identified specific cause of cough that resolved following 2-4 weeks of appropriate antibiotics. Anterior nasal swabs were tested for 17 viruses and bacteria by polymerase chain reaction. The study included 903 children. Childcare attendance (adjusted relative risk (aRR) = 2.32, 95% CI 1.48-3.63), prior history of chronic cough (aRR = 2.63, 95% CI 1.72-4.01) and age <2-years (<12-months: aRR = 4.31, 95% CI 1.42-13.10; 12-<24 months: aRR = 2.00, 95% CI 1.35-2.96) increased risk of PBB. Baseline diagnoses of asthma/reactive airways disease (aRR = 0.30, 95% CI 0.26-0.35) or bronchiolitis (aRR = 0.15, 95% CI 0.06-0.38) decreased risk.
