Sliding hiatal hernia detected by transnasal esophagogastroscopy is associated with poorer treatment response in reflux-associated globus sensation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Transnasal esophagogastroscopy (TNE) may provide clinically relevant information on gastroesophageal junction morphology in patients with globus sensation and reflux disease. This prospective single-arm interventional cohort study with a pre-post design evaluated the association between TNE findings and treatment response in patients with objectively confirmed reflux disease. Ninety-two patients with globus sensation underwent dual-probe pH monitoring; reflux disease was detected in 59 patients. These patients underwent TNE and completed the German version of the Glasgow Edinburgh Throat Scale (GETS-G) before and after 12 weeks of antireflux treatment. Pathological TNE findings were identified in 25 patients, with sliding hiatal hernia being the most frequent abnormality (18 patients). The mean GETS-G score decreased significantly from 38.5 ± 7.1 to 24.0 ± 8.1 after treatment. Using the ≥ 20% GETS-G reduction threshold, 48 of 59 patients met the study-defined response criterion. Sliding hiatal hernia was not significantly associated with reflux subtype but was independently associated with poorer symptom improvement. Hill grades I-II were associated with greater improvement than Hill grades III-IV. Endoscopic assessment of hiatal hernia and Hill classification may support individualized management of reflux-associated globus sensation.
