A Case of Life-Threatening Stridor: Vallecular Cyst in a 2-Month-Old Infant.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2026. 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
Vallecular cysts are uncommon birth defects that substantially restrict an infant's airway. This paper emphasizes the difficulties in diagnosing and managing a transfer case with limited resources. If these cysts are not detected early, they can have major clinical consequences. A 2-month-old female infant presented with progressive inspiratory stridor, respiratory distress, vomiting, and fever over one month. Initial investigations suggested pneumonia, but direct laryngoscopy revealed a large vallecular cyst compressing the laryngeal structures. Blood cultures grew
