Cough-Induced Rib Fracture in a Postmenopausal Woman Without Clinical Evidence of Osteoporosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cough-induced rib fractures are rare conditions and are seldom reported in the medical literature. This case involves a 54-year-old postmenopausal woman who experienced a persistent dry cough lasting 16 days, which progressed to acute, localized chest pain in the right hemithorax. Symptoms started after an initial chest infection. She developed a fracture of her right fifth rib due to a cough, a rare but serious complication of hard work by the cough. The patient achieved a favorable outcome through conservative management, which remains the preferred initial approach for cough-induced rib fractures. The patient's clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and treatment plan are presented herein. The case, therefore, overemphasizes the consideration of rib fractures in patients presenting with protracted or severe coughing with chest pain.
