Treatment efficacy of 532-nm diode laser glottoplasty in patients with sulcus vocalis: a prospective study.
Trial report in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeThis study prospectively assessed the efficacy and safety of 532-nm diode laser glottoplasty in patients with sulcus vocalis.
methodsA prospective human trial was performed from August 2016 to September 2021. 532-nm diode laser glottoplasty was performed in 30 consecutive patients with sulcus vocalis who suffered from voice problems. Patients underwent acoustic aerodynamic, perceptual, stroboscopic, and Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10) evaluations before and 1, 6, and 12 months after laser glottoplasty.
resultsMost subjective parameters showed significant improvement (P < 0.05) at 6 months after laser glottoplasty and remained stable at 12 months. Most objective parameters showed significant improvement (P < 0.05) at 12 months after laser glottoplasty. Complications during follow-up included mild vocal fold vibration reduction in 3.3% of patients (1/30) and persistent vocal fold edema in 3.3% of patients (1/30).
conclusionsStatistically significant voice improvement at 12 months after 532-nm diode laser glottoplasty was achieved without serious complications.
