Clarifying Terminology in Chronic Cough: The Evolving Role of Cough Hypersensitivity Syndrome.
Review in The clinical respiratory journal, 2026. 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
Chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting no less than 8 weeks, and 10%-42% of patients with chronic cough retain their cough after comprehensive examination and treatment. The terms idiopathic chronic cough (ICC), unexplained chronic cough (UCC), and refractory chronic cough (RCC) are frequently used to describe this clinical condition. However, these terms are often used interchangeably in articles, leading to heterogeneity in the populations included in the studies and compromising the value of the findings in guiding clinical practice. This article aims to clarify the current terminological confusion by reviewing the definitions and relationships among ICC, UCC, and RCC in the literature, and to discuss the emerging role of cough hypersensitivity syndrome (CHS) as an important pathophysiological framework for understanding chronic cough, with a focus on its clinical value, current challenges, and future perspectives.
