Use of a transnasal flexible laryngoscope tip for laryngeal culturing: A novel in-office technique.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn-office culture of the larynx using a flexible laryngoscope tip can help identify laryngeal pathogens in cases of laryngitis.
objectiveThis retrospective case series aimed to investigate the feasibility of in-office laryngoscope tip culture to identify laryngeal pathogens and help guide medical treatment.
methodsThis case series consists of 8 patients who underwent 11 in-office laryngeal cultures using the tip of the flexible laryngoscope. Concurrent nasal cultures were performed on two patients to assess for possible nasal contamination of these laryngoscope tip cultures.
resultsNine patients underwent laryngeal culture with laryngoscope tip in-office, with two patients undergoing repeat swabs for a total of eleven swabs. Then, 8 of 11 swabs (73%) grew methicillin-sensitive
conclusionIn-office laryngoscope tip culture allows safe identification of laryngeal pathogens in an ambulatory setting. In-office laryngoscope tip culture can help guide medical treatment of laryngeal infections. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
