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
backgroundA persistent difficult-to-treat cough can be exhausting. Iron is an essential element that plays an important role in regulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and its deficiency may potentiate airway inflammation and dysfunction. There is a paucity of data regarding a link between iron deficiency (ID) and idiopathic cough.
objectivesIn this study, a case of persistent non-productive cough, which was unresponsive to targeted treatment approaches but responsive to iron therapy, is reported.
methodsA 53-year-old woman came to a medical clinic with complaints of a chronic and progressive non-productive cough. She underwent a complete clinical and paraclinical evaluation.
resultsHer vital signs were stable and no abnormalities were found on the physical examination. The results of the spirometry and chest radiography were unremarkable. The laboratory test indicated hypochromic microcytic anemia, with a hemoglobin value of 9.6 g/dL. Her cough was resolved after treatment of iron-deficiency anemia with an oral nutraceutical capsule containing 28 mg of elemental iron (as ferrous bis-glycinate) plus folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin C, once daily for six months.
conclusionIn the case of unexplained chronic cough, resistant to targeted therapies, investigation and treatment of ID may contribute to the resolution of cough.
