Synthesis in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

A large proportion of schwannomas are found in the head and neck region. Schwannoma located within the larynx however is uncommon. The characteristic features, clinical presentations, treatment and the outcomes of patients with laryngeal schwannoma are therefore not clearly understood. The aim of this comprehensive review is to compile, analyze and present the details to develop a consensus and augment the available literature on laryngeal schwannoma. A comprehensive literature search on laryngeal schwannoma was performed on PUBMED/MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Science Citation Index using MeSH words. A total of 55 patients were reviewed in this study. 40.7 % of the tumours arose from the aryepiglottic fold or arytenoids. Other areas where tumours were found included the false cord, true vocal cord, epiglottis, subglottis, piriform sinus and the post cricoid area. 64.9 % patients presented with dysphonia. Others typically present with multiple symptoms related to the mass effect and location of the tumour. All patients were managed surgically with different techniques and approaches. Majority of patients were alive with no residual disease. There were five recurrences and no mortality to date. Schwannoma within the larynx can present with a variety of symptoms. Surgical excision remained as the treatment of choice with good overall prognosis.
