Insights into laryngeal Castleman disease: A comprehensive scoping review with a case study focus.

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
Introduction: Castleman disease (CD) refers to a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders, which rarely involves the larynx. Our goal in this study is to elucidate the clinical presentation, diagnostic techniques, and treatment methods of laryngeal CD through a scoping review and the addition of a new case. Methods: Due to limited existing literature, we employed a mixed methodology for review. First, we searched Google Scholar using terms related to laryngeal CD. Subsequently, we screened abstracts using Covidence, drawing from databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, ProQuest, and EMBASE. We shortlisted studies for data extraction, focusing on clinical presentations, diagnostics, and treatment methodologies. Finally, we described our additional case. Results: Scoping review revealed five qualifying laryngeal CD articles. Presenting symptoms included dysphagia, hoarseness, and dyspnea. Diagnosis was always established through histopathologic analysis. Management included local excision or radiotherapy. In our additional case, a 71-year-old male with known CD presented with neck swelling, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Exam revealed lymphoid laryngeal and supraglottic hyperplasia and edema. Laryngeal symptoms improved with medical management of CD. Discussion: Given the rarity of laryngeal CD, its identification and management can be a challenge. Practitioners should be aware of characteristic points in a CD patient's history, physical exam, imaging, and biopsies. Local excision of obstructive lymphoid tissue and radiation are the best-supported therapies. This study aims to build toward improvements in accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment for laryngeal CD.
