Laser fenestration of the dorsal pharyngeal recess does not correct experimentally induced dorsal nasopharyngeal collapse in horses.
Article in Veterinary surgery : VS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo quantify the impact of experimentally induced dorsal nasopharyngeal collapse (NPC) on respiratory performance parameters and assess the efficacy of laser fenestration of the dorsal pharyngeal recess as a treatment option for experimentally induced NPC. STUDY
designExperimental interventional study. ANIMALS: Six adult Standardbreds (one with naturally occurring disease).
methodsAfter an 8 week conditioning program, baseline parameters (V̇O
resultsModerate to severe dorsal NPC was successfully induced in five horses, with subjective improvement seen on dynamic endoscopy in 2/5 horses after fenestration. After NPC induction, V̇O
conclusionRespiratory performance parameters worsened following NPC induction in comparison with the baseline and did not improve following laser fenestration. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This experimental model did not support clinical application of laser salpingopharyngostomy to treat NPC.
