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

backgroundProlonged ulcerative laryngitis is a rare, benign inflammatory alteration of the larynx that persists for months. The laryngoscopic findings suggest a malignant process and can therefore be a challenge for the treating ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician.

objectivesPresentation of the current database to provide an overview of the etiology, progress and treatment for everyday clinical practice.

methodsThree case studies from the Department of Phoniatrics and Speech Pathology of the ENT Department, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, are presented. Analysis and discussion of the current literature base and of case reports in the English literature.

resultsThe etiology and predisposing factors for this disease are unclear. Previous respiratory infection with cough and dysphonia seems to be the most common cause. Biopsies should be avoided.

conclusionsThe typical laryngoscopic findings show corresponding circumscribed lancet-shaped ulcerations in the middle third of the vocal fold. The course of the disease appears to be self-limiting and without permanent structural consequences. Therefore, good patient education and close laryngoscopic follow-up should be performed.
