Non-interventional Pilot Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Lysozymebased Therapy in Patients with Non-infectious Sore Throat.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lysozyme-based oral antiseptic in the therapy of non-infectious sore throat in teachers. MATERIALS AND
methodsA non-interventional, prospective, pilot study was conducted with two examinations. The first was performed as part of a general medical examination. If a non-infectious sore throat was confirmed by clinical checkup and all other inclusion and non-exclusion criteria confirmed, patients were offered to be enrolled in the study. After signing the informed consent form, patients were advised to use lysozyme-based lozenges, six times a day, for a period of five days. A telephone call follow-up examination was performed within 24 hours from the therapy completion.
resultsThis was a pilot study involving 25 adult patients of both genders. Lysozyme-based lozenges showed positive effects in relieving the symptoms of non-infectious sore throat in teachers. At the same time, the lozenges showed excellent tolerability, and no side effects were reported during the study. 92% of patients confirmed they would take the same medicine again due to the same problem.
conclusionThe results of this "proof-of-concept" study indicated that lysozyme-based antiseptic could be effective and safe in the treatment of non-infectious sore throat in teachers and should be further evaluated as treatment option in this condition.
