Contemporary surgical strategies for pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis: a comprehensive review.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Pediatric laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) presents a complex and heterogeneous clinical challenge, requiring individualized surgical approaches to restore airway patency and function. Depending on stenosis severity, anatomical site, and comorbidities, a range of surgical techniques-including laryngotracheal reconstruction (LTR), partial cricotracheal resection (PCTR), extended PCTR, and endoscopic posterior cricoid split with rib grafting (EPCS/RG)-may be employed. Methods: This narrative review synthesizes current surgical strategies for pediatric LTS based on current literature, highlighting their indications, operative considerations, and reported outcomes. Key factors affecting surgical success, such as patient selection and perioperative management, are discussed. Results: Single-stage LTR is favored in healthy children with moderate SGS, while PCTR offers superior outcomes in severe or recurrent cases. EPCS/RG represents a minimally invasive alternative for LTR in selected cases with posterior glottic stenosis. Decannulation rates generally exceed 85% in carefully selected patients, though voice and swallowing outcomes vary by technique. Conclusion: Optimal management of pediatric LTS requires a multidisciplinary, tailored approach. Continued focus on long-term functional outcomes, technical innovations, and multicenter collaboration will further improve patient care.
