Laryngeal Mid-Cord Erythroleukoplakias: How to Modulate the Transoral CO

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
backgroundThe endoscopic appearance of glottic erythroleukoplakias is non-predictive of their histopathology, potentially ranging from keratosis to invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this study was to assess a comprehensive workup for the one-step diagnosis and treatment of mid-cord erythroleukoplakias, using CO
methodsWe evaluated 147 untreated patients affected by 155 mid-cord erythroleukoplakias submitted to excisional biopsy by subepithelial (Type I) or subligamental cordectomy (Type II), across two academic institutions. Patients were evaluated by preoperative videolaryngostroboscopy, pre- and intraoperative videoendoscopy with biologic endoscopy (narrow band imaging, NBI, or the Storz professional image enhancement system, SPIES), either with or without intraoperative saline infusion into the Reinke's space. Adequacy of treatment was the primary outcome.
resultsThe histopathologic diagnosis was keratosis in 26 (17%) cases, squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (SIN1-2) in 47 (30%), carcinoma in situ in 21 (14%), and SCC in 61 (39%) patients. The adequacy of treatment across the entire cohort was 89%. The intraoperative saline infusion procedure, facing not clearly suspicious lesions, raised the adequacy of treatment from 60% to 90% (
conclusionsExcisional biopsy by Type I-II cordectomies, after a comprehensive diagnostic workup, should be accepted as an adequate and cost-effective treatment of unilateral mid-cord glottic erythroleukoplakias.
