Clinical Manifestations and Treatment Outcome of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux on Larynx and Symptom-Sign Correlation.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
To evaluate various clinical signs and symptoms of Laryngopharyngeal reflux on the Larynx along with treatment outcome and to establish symptom-sign correlation. Prospective interventional study. 50 patients with symptoms and signs of LPR were enrolled in the study and were followed up for 9 months. Patients were evaluated with a 70° Hopkins rigid laryngoscope and the Reflux Symptom Index and Reflux Finding Score scales were used to grade the sign and symptoms and to diagnose LPR and to compare pre and post-treatment conditions. Patients were given treatments including PPI and diet modification. The most common laryngeal symptom based on the RSI score was sore throat (40%). Other common symptoms were hoarseness of voice (30%) and cough (20%). The most common laryngeal sign based on RFS (Reflux finding score) was Posterior Commissure Hypertrophy (40%). The other common signs were Pseudosulcus (30%), Vocal cord oedema (20%), and Granulomas (10%). Out of the 50 patients, 21 patients (42%) had an RFS score of less than 7. Rest 29 patients (58%) had RFS scores of more than 7. Out of these 29 patients, 19 patients (65.52%) had partial relief from symptoms after 3 weeks of treatment and were advised to take treatment for 3 more weeks, and rest 10 (34.48%) patients were completely unresponsive to treatment. The improvement in symptoms does not always manifest in improvement in signs and there is no correlation between the symptoms and signs of LPR.
