Hiccups result from involuntary spasms of the diaphragm that abruptly close the glottis.

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that hiccups result from involuntary spasms of the diaphragm that abruptly close the glottis?

Yes. Two reference sources state that hiccups involve an involuntary diaphragm contraction followed by abrupt closure of the glottis, matching the claim; a peer-reviewed review confirms only the diaphragm-spasm half.
