Role of Reflux Symptom Index and Reflux Finding Score in Diagnosing Laryngopharyngeal Reflux: A Prospective Study.

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
Laryngopharyngeal Reflux Disease (LPRD) is caused due to reflux of gastric content into the larynx and pharynx. The present study was done to assess the role of Reflux Symptom Index (RSI) and Reflux Finding Score (RFS) in the treatment outcomes in symptomatic patients with LPRD. This is a prospective analytical study conducted on 200 patients for a period of 2 years, from January 2020 to February 2022. Patients suspected with LPR were evaluated using RSI and RFS, and both pre and post treatment scores were compared to assess the change in scores of RSI and RFS following 8 weeks of treatment with PPI (Proton pump inhibitor). The patients experienced a greater incidence of moderate symptoms in RSI. Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed significant difference between pre and post treatment scores with respect to reflux symptoms and reflux findings (
