Internet-Based Behavioral Cough Suppression Therapy for Refractory Chronic Cough: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Trial report in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of internet-based behavioral cough suppression therapy (IBCST) and explore users' experiences.
methodThis study involved a prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of a 5-week IBCST and healthy lifestyle education control intervention in patients with refractory chronic cough. Additionally, qualitative interviews were conducted and analyzed using grounded theory methodology.
interventionsIBCST and the healthy lifestyle control included 5 weeks of asynchronous content delivered via video and text on a study-specific website. IBCST emphasized education and cough suppression. OUTCOMES: The Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) and Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were the primary and secondary outcome measures, respectively, and were administered at baseline (T0), 1-week posttreatment (T1), and 1-month posttreatment (T2). Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with a subgroup of IBCST participants.
resultsThirty-nine adults with refractory chronic cough enrolled, and 30 (27 women, three men;
conclusionIBCST was feasible and efficacious and resulted in total LCQ score changes on par with what has been reported for other BCST interventions, paving the way for adaptation to a digital therapeutic.
