Shrinkage of specimens after CO
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, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Who cites it
9 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 13 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purposeThe margin status after CO
methodsThis is a prospective study involving a consecutive cohort of 23 patients (19 males, 4 females, mean age 69.9 years, range 42-83 years) with early glottic carcinoma treated by CO
resultsThe mean shrinkage of the mucosal specimen from intralaryngeal measurement to post-resection measurement was 3.8 ± 0.3 mm, resulting in an average loss of 29% of the anteroposterior length (p < 0.01). The anteroposterior length of both the tumor and the margins after resection significantly decreased, but the shrinkage of the anterior and posterior margins was significantly greater than the shrinkage of the tumor (49% versus 20% and 45% versus 20%, p < 0.01).
conclusionThe present study demonstrates significant shrinkage of specimens after CO
