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

A chronic cough (CC) is reported in 4-10% of the adult population and negatively affects quality of life [1-5]. Diagnosing and managing CC is challenging [3-5]. Initial evaluation typically includes chest radiography, spirometry, blood cell count (to detect blood eosinophils) and exhaled nitric oxide fraction, if available [4, 5]. Further diagnostic tests are warranted if clinical symptoms and basic tests cannot identify the cause of CC. Secondary diagnostic tests include oesophageal manometry or pH/impedance monitoring, induced sputum for eosinophils, laryngoscopy, bronchial provocation challenge, chest computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy [3-5].
