Quality of life assessment tools for chronic cough in children: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: The aim is to examine studies evaluating the life quality of children suffering from chronic cough over the last 10 years, concentrating on three areas: the development and validation of new tools, the cultural adaptation of existing tools, and the usage of common tools. Methods: A series of digital explorations were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library databases to find pertinent literature. The selection of literature adhered to specific criteria for its inclusion and exclusion. Analytical methods are documented in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, identified by the registration number CRD42024583481. Results: Our collection encompassed 3,186 records, culminating in the inclusion of 14 studies. One study concentrated on the development and validation of a new assessment tool. The study evaluated the dependability, accuracy, and responsiveness of the child cough specific quality of life questionnaire (CC-QoL), but the number of participants was notably small. Research focusing on the creation and verification of localized language editions of current tools was absent. Thirteen studies, predominantly from China and Australia, employed quality of life (QoL) evaluation instruments as the outcome metrics. Chinese studies employed a wide range of evaluation instruments. Research in Australia employed the parent cough specific quality of life questionnaire (PC-QoL). Conclusion: Over the last 10 years, minimal research has been conducted on the creation, application, and cultural modification of QoL evaluation instruments for chronic cough in children.
