1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundChildren's physical and emotional health are affected by acute cough. Cough severity and influence on quality of life can be measured with specialized questionnaires. This study aimed to present the Chinese version of the 16-item Parent-proxy Children's Acute Cough-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAC-QoL

methodsUsing independent translations and counter translations, the Chinese version of the PAC-QoL

resultsA total of 148 complete and valid questionnaires were collected. Eighty-one males and 67 females composed the 148 children, whose average age was 4.6 years and ranged from 2 to 12 years. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the three domains and the whole score ranged from 0.824 to 0.978. The VAS and VCD scores showed a strong correlation with the overall and domain scores of the PAC-QoL16. After therapy, there were significant decreases in the cough VAS and VCD scores, while the overall and domain scores of the PAC-QoL16 improved (P < 0.05). Concurrently, correlations were observed between the difference in VAS and VCD scores and the difference in PAC-QoL16 scores before and after treatment.

conclusionThe Chinese version of the PAC-QoL16 has good applicability in Chinese children with acute cough and can reflect the quality of life and disease severity of children with acute cough.
