Laryngeal Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase-Positive B-cell Lymphoma: Case Report and Review.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. 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
Larynx is an uncommon extranodal site for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive B-cell lymphoma is a rare and aggressive form of NHL. A 19-year-old male presented to the ENT department with globus sensation, hoarseness, cervical lymphadenopathy and weight loss. A 70-degree rigid endoscopic examination of the larynx showed a vascular, irregular, submucosal mass arising from the right aryepiglottic fold causing near complete obstruction of the laryngeal airway. PET-CT showed hypermetabolic lesions in the supraglottis, cervical lymph nodes, cervical spine, ribs and abdominal lymph nodes. Biopsy was taken from the supraglottic mass as well as the enlarged cervical lymph nodes, which revealed ALK-positive large B-cell NHL. In this report, we present a rare case of ALK-positive large B-cell NHL of the larynx, discussing its clinical, radiological and pathological features. A limited review of literature is also presented. There is a need to develop a database for the description of lymphomas affecting the larynx and this case report adds to the existing knowledge of this rare entity.
