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
introductionBesides generalized symptoms, patients with COVID-19 also show otolaryngological (ENT) symptoms. Globus is one of these symptoms. Anxiety problems may accompany the disease, as well. This study investigated the relationship between globus symptoms and COVID-19 anxiety in patients diagnosed with COVID-19.
methodsThe Turkish version of Glasgow-Edinburgh Throat Scale (GETS-T) and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) was used to investigation of the relationship between globus symptoms and COVID-19 anxiety in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. They responded to the GETS-T for the evaluation of throat symptoms and determination of their severity. Additionally, it examined the level of dysfunctional anxiety associated with the coronavirus in COVID-19 patients by using the CAS. Data were collected through telephone interviews. There were 220 participants in a prospective cross-sectional study (110 COVID-19 patients and 110 non-COVID-19).
resultsResults show the GETS-T total score to be significantly higher in the COVID-19 group than in the non-COVID-19 group (p < 0.001). As the GETS-T total score increased, CAS total score also increased significantly in the COVID-19 group. Total scores of GETS-T and CAS were found to be lower in the post-acute period than in the acute period in the COVID-19 group (p < 0.001).
conclusionThis study confirms that globus-type symptoms may be present in the clinical appearance of COVID-19 infection. In addition, the results support the opinion held in the academic literature that there are positive correlations between globus sensation and psychosomatic etiology. Furthermore, the study concludes that the symptoms generalized as globus-type symptoms, which include sore throat, the feeling that something is stuck in the throat, and the inability to clear the throat, decrease and almost disappear after the first month of the disease.
