Laryngeal Schwannoma: A Rare Entity.
Article in Cureus, 2022. 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
Of all schwannomas, 24-45% arise from the head and neck area. Laryngeal schwannoma is an uncommon site. We report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with worsening sudden onset inspiratory stridor. On direct laryngoscopy, he was noted to have a laryngeal mass, which caused a ball-and-valve effect on the laryngeal inlet, resulting in airway compromise. He was subsequently intubated and admitted to the intensive therapy unit. He underwent endoscopic removal of a bulky submucosal swelling in the supraglottic region using coblation. The post-operative histopathological assessment confirmed features of laryngeal schwannoma. A six-month post-operative follow-up showed no signs of recurrence. Due to the rarity of this condition, the evidence for the most efficient management of these cases is still not clear. Diagnosis is by histology assessment, although clinical evaluation should raise suspicion. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment with a good overall prognosis. In current literature, the technique of surgical excision varies with different outcomes. We report a case that was managed with micro-laryngoscopy and coblation with good effect.
