Persistent cough after pulmonary resection: Minor issue, major hurdle.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Persistent cough is one of the most common complications following pulmonary resection, that impairs patients' quality of life and prolongs recovery time. However, a comprehensive review of persistent cough after pulmonary resection (CAP) has not been performed. Methods: A literature search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase database was conducted for persistent-CAP up to June 2023. Subsequent qualitative systematic review focused on definition, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of persistent-CAP. Results: Persistent-CAP stands as a prevalent postoperative complication subsequent to pulmonary resection procedures. with an incidence of 24.4-55.0 %. Although persistent-CAP has a minor impact on survival, this condition is of critical importance because it presents a major hurdle in recovery after surgery. In this review, we proposed a systemic definition for persistent-CAP based on available evidence and our own data. Several assessment tools used to assess severity of persistent-CAP are also introduced. Risk factors associated with persistent-CAP are explored, including surgical approaches, resection extent, surgical site, lymph node dissection, postoperative gastroesophageal acid reflux, tracheal intubation anesthesia, preoperative comorbidity, and sex among others. Surgical and anesthesia preventions targeting risk factors to prevent persistent-CAP are elaborated. A number of studies have shown that a multidisciplinary approach can effectively relieve persistent-CAP. Conclusions: Although the mechanisms underlying persistent-CAP are still unclear, existing studies demonstrated that persistent-CAP is related to surgical and anesthesia factors. Therefore, in the future, prevention and treatment should be developed based on risk factors to overcome the hurdle of persistent-CAP.
