Micro-CT study of human laryngeal structures using phosphotungstic agent staining.

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
purposeTraditional dissection methods are primarily limited by challenges in identifying minute structures, which can lead to irreversible tissue damage. Anatomical observation of the larynx is particularly challenging in educational and clinical settings owing to its microscopic structures and complex three-dimensional (3D) nature, making it difficult to dissect. Therefore, this study aimed to demonstrate that micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of the larynx can serve as an effective alternative for educational and clinical purposes, overcoming these limitations.
methodsThree laryngeal specimens were obtained from cadavers, stained with a phosphotungstic acid-based contrast agent, and imaged using enhanced micro-CT. The resulting images were reconstructed in three dimensions, allowing for a detailed 3D observation of the specimens.
resultsPhosphotungstic contrast-enhanced micro-CT provided comprehensive anatomical information on laryngeal structures, including muscles, nerves, arteries, and vocal folds.
conclusionThis study demonstrates the high effectiveness of micro-CT in producing detailed structural images of the larynx, enabling 3D observation of even the smallest anatomical structures. These images can be applied in both educational and clinical settings to analyze the human larynx, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional dissection methods. This approach facilitates the analysis of laryngeal structures that are otherwise difficult to observe with the naked eye.
