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

objectivesTo investigate the value of exercise challenge testing (ECT) in the diagnosis of cough variant asthma (CVA) in children.

methodsA prospective study was conducted on 78 children with chronic cough who were admitted between January 2023 and January 2024. ECT was performed, and clinical data were collected. According to the effect of bronchodilator treatment, the children were divided into a CVA group (44 children) and a non-CVA group (34 children), and the two groups were compared in terms of clinical characteristics, pulmonary function, and ECT results before treatment.

resultsCompared with the non-CVA group, the CVA group had a significantly higher proportion of boys, a significantly higher proportion of children with exercise-induced chronic cough, a significantly higher level of fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and a significantly greater reduction in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV

conclusionsECT has clinical application value in the etiological diagnosis of pediatric chronic cough, with a reduction in FEV1 of 8.44% serving as the optimal cut-off value for diagnosing CVA. It is particularly suitable for children with exercise-induced chronic cough, increasing the sensitivity for CVA diagnosis.
