1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Research background: The role of dietary habits of patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is comparatively underexplored. The aim of the study is to examine dietary habits, onset and course of the disease as well as the quality of life of patients with LPR. Experimental approach: The results of the modified food frequency questionnaire (FFQ-m) and laryngopharyngeal reflux health-related quality of life (LPR-HRQL) questionnaires were compared between subjects with and without LPR. There were a total of 100 subjects with LPR and 65 subjects in the control group. The group of subjects with LPR was further randomly divided into two subgroups; the first subgroup was treated with esomeprazole at a dose of 20 mg twice daily combined with the instructions for dietary and general lifestyle changes, and the other with pantoprazole at a dose of 20 mg twice daily combined with the instructions for dietary and general lifestyle changes. Participants were instructed to fill out FFQ-m and LPR-HRQL questionnaires immediately after the initial examination and then after control examinations 30 and 60 days after the initial examination. Results and conclusions: Patients with LPR consume more food with high reflux potential, drink more carbonated drinks and juices and have a worse quality of life than the control group (p<0.001). Taking proton pump inhibitors at a dose of 20 mg twice daily in combination with a change in dietary habits such as substituting acidic, spicy, fermented, sweet, fried foods and other foods with a high reflux potential as well as carbonated drinks and juices with the food with a low reflux potential and water significantly reduced the symptoms of LPR and increased the quality of life of the patients (p<0.001). Novelty and scientific contribution: This is the first study showing the correlation between dietary habits and the quality of life of patients with LPR. The contribution of this research is an objective assessment of the follow-up of patients with LPR that could be used in their regular assessment.
