Evaluation of two unilateral laryngoplasty techniques and their effect on arytenoid cartilage abduction in cats.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate two unilateral laryngoplasty (arytenoid lateralisation) techniques for use in the surgical management of laryngeal paralysis in cats.
methodsLeft cricoarytenoid abduction (lateralisation) was performed in 20 ex vivo cat larynges; 10 following complete cricoarytenoid disarticulation (group LAA-dis) and 10 following no cricoarytenoid disarticulation (group LAA-nodis). For both groups, left arytenoid abduction (LAA) was measured in the resting and postoperative larynges using image analysis software. Measurements were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U-test. For both groups, dorsal images of the postoperative larynges were assessed visually for evidence of epiglottic coverage of the entrance to the larynx.
resultsThe mean percentage increase in LAA was 311.5% and 199.4% ( CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Placement of a single, tensioned suture between the muscular process of the left arytenoid cartilage and the caudolateral aspect of the ipsilateral cricoid cartilage (unilateral cricoarytenoid lateralisation) resulted in abduction of the left arytenoid cartilage and a corresponding increase in the area of the rima glottidis on the operated side. The clinical significance of the difference in outcome between left cricoarytenoid abduction following complete cricoarytenoid disarticulation and abduction following no cricoarytenoid disarticulation remains unclear, and both might be considered appropriate for the surgical management of laryngeal paralysis in the cat.
