Early effects of irradiation on laryngeal mucosa in a gastroesophageal reflux model: an experimental study.
Article 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, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the early histopathological changes of gastroesophageal reflux and irradiation on laryngeal mucosa in rats. STUDY
designAnimal study.
settingExperimental animal laboratory, tertiary referral center. SUBJECT AND
methodTwenty-four adult female Wistar Albino rats were grouped as: control (n = 6), reflux and irradiation (n = 10), and irradiation (n = 8). Rats were operated to create a reflux model 30 days before irradiation. Ionizing radiation was administered in a single fraction of a 20 Gy to the larynx. Laryngeal tissue samples were taken at the 4th day of irradiation and all specimens underwent histopathological examination.
resultsEdema and vascular dilation in lamina propria were higher in the reflux and irradiation, and irradiation groups than control group. Inflammation was higher in the reflux and irradiation group than the control group. Inflammation in squamous epithelium was higher in the reflux and irradiation and irradiation groups compared to the control group. Inflammation in the squamous epithelium of the irradiation group was higher than the reflux and irradiation group. In the respiratory tract epithelium, inflammation was higher in the reflux and irradiation group; additionally, a significant loss of cilia was present in the reflux and irradiation and irradiation groups while pseudostratification was higher in the reflux and irradiation group.
conclusionIonizing radiation-induced inflammation may increase on previously inflammated area due to gastroesophageal reflux. Therefore, it may be helpful to investigate and treat the reflux in laryngeal cancer patients that will receive ionizing radiation.
