A critical appraisal of qualitative research exploring the lived experience following total laryngectomy.
Review in Current opinion in otolaryngology & head and neck surgery, 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
purpose of reviewLaryngectomy is a life-changing operation; however, little attention has been paid to exploring peoples lived experiences. Understanding these experiences is critical, particularly in relation to the psychosocial, communicative, and rehabilitative challenges that follow surgery. RECENT
findingsCritical appraisal and author discussion of eleven articles generated three inter-related themes. SUMMARY: Critical appraisal of the literature has provided a unique insight into the lived experience of people after laryngectomy. This literature review advocates the importance of transitioning long-term laryngectomy care away from a sole medical model to one that incorporates a biopsychosocial model of care. It would be beneficial for future work to explore a wider demographic of people with a laryngectomy. For example, a more diverse range of experiences across age, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status. This would ensure that the needs of local populations are met within their local communities, consistent with principles of accessibility, equity and person-centred care.
