Globus jugularis and dysphagia in patients with hiatus hernia.

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
The aim of the article was to study if there is any relationship between globus sensation in the jugular fossa (GJ), intermittent esophageal dysphagia (IED), and the presence of a hiatus hernia, and if GJ can be relieved after hiatus hernia repair. 167 patients with a hiatus hernia (Group A) and 61 other patients with hiatus hernia and gastroesophageal reflux disease who were surgically treated with Nissen fundoplication (Group B), filled in a symptom questionnaire on GJ and IED. GJ was found in 66% and IED in 68% of patients in group A. In group B, 49% had GJ and 64% IED before surgery. At surgical follow-up 16% (P < 0.005) and 43% (P < 0.05) had GJ and IED, respectively. The combination of GJ and IED was found in 28% of IED patients before operation and in 31% at surgical follow-up. The high frequency of GJ in patients with hiatus hernia and the significant relief of GJ after hiatus hernia repair imply that GJ most likely is a referred sensation from the esophagus. IED and GJ are two parallel phenomena in patients with hiatus hernia, but do not seem to have any causal relationship.
