1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 introduces a new technique in laryngeal microsurgery that combines subepithelial saline infusion with photoangiolysis to safely and effectively coagulate vocal fold vessels while minimizing thermal damage. By expanding the volume of the superficial lamina propria with saline, the method allows for precise targeting of vessels with reduced energy needed for coagulation, thereby protecting the delicate microstructure of the vocal folds. The technique allows for a more comprehensive hemostatic approach by making an increased number of vessels accessible for treatment, which can lead to reduced intraoperative bleeding and fewer postoperative complications.
