Nighttime Cough Characteristics in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Coughing is a symptom of many respiratory diseases. An increased amount of coughs may signal an (upcoming) health issue, while a decreasing amount of coughs may indicate an improved health status. The presence of a cough can be identified by a cough classifier. The cough density fluctuates considerably over the course of a day with a pattern that is highly subject-dependent. This paper provides a case study of cough patterns from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients as determined by a stationary semi-automated cough monitor. It clearly demonstrates the variability of cough density over the observation time, its patient specificity and dependence on health status. Furthermore, an earlier established empirical finding of a linear relation between mean and standard deviation of a session's cough count is validated. An alert mechanism incorporating these findings is described.
