Investigating Risk Factors for Laryngotracheal Reconstruction and Assessing Postoperative Management.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examines demographic and etiological factors influencing the need for laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR) by analyzing clinical studies with clear outcome measures, pre- and post-treatment scores, and demographic data while excluding case reports, reviews, and abstracts. A literature search through PubMed and Embase identified 49 articles, which were narrowed to six after abstract analysis. The results indicate that sex, age, and ethnicity were not significant predictors of the need for LTR, whereas the underlying etiology (particularly trauma, prolonged intubation, and idiopathic causes) significantly influenced the necessity for surgery and surgical outcomes. Furthermore, postoperative rehabilitation emerged as a critical factor in improving patient recovery, particularly for regaining swallowing function and alleviating dysphagia. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring surgical approaches based on etiology and highlight the essential role of rehabilitation in optimizing recovery following LTR.
