The application of 24-hour pharyngeal pH-monitoring and Reflux Finding Score and Reflux Symptom Index questionnaires in the diagnostics of laryngopharyngeal reflux.

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
introductionTwenty-four-hour oesophageal pH-monitoring is a gold standard in the diagnostics of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD); however, this examination does not always perform well in patients in whom laryngeal symptoms of reflux are observed.
aimTo test the effectiveness of Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) in confirming the occurrence of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). MATERIAL AND
methodsEighty-two patients with symptoms suggesting the occurrence of LPR were studied. The mean age of the participants amounted to 48.79 ±12.02. The patients were asked to fill in the RSI. The pharynx was assessed using videolaryngostroboscopy and then the RSF was filled in. Next, 24-hour pharyngeal pH-monitoring was performed with the use of a Dx pH - Restech System device. All the statistical analyses were conducted with the use of the R computational environment.
resultsThe authors attempted to determine the reference values of the RSI and RFS questionnaires for the Polish population. For a very general approximation, normality of the distributions of the results in the RSI and RFS questionnaire can be done and an approximation mean + 2 SD can be used as a reference value. Then, for RSI the recommended cut-off limit of LPR would fluctuate, depending on the study, between 8 and 17, whereas for RFS it would be between 8 and 14.
conclusionsWhen used alone, RSI/RFS questionnaires do not allow an unambiguous diagnosis of LPR assessed by 24-hour pharyngeal pH-monitoring.
