Speech and language therapy management of laryngotracheal stenosis - what has changed.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 reviewTo examine how the clinical management of adults with laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) by speech and language therapists (SLTs) has evolved over the past decade. The review highlights changes in assessment, counselling, and rehabilitation practices in response to advances in surgical interventions and explores implications for multidisciplinary care. RECENT
findingsRecent literature and clinical experience demonstrate that SLTs play a critical role in managing voice and swallowing outcomes for patients with LTS. While established care pathways exist for reconstructive surgery, the increasing use of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures and complex cases require more nuanced, individualized approaches. Prospective studies have defined the impact of LTS and its treatments on voice and swallowing, and a core outcome set (COS-LTS) has been developed to standardize outcome reporting in future research. Psychosocial support and patient-centred decision-making have become integral components of care. SUMMARY: Adults with LTS experience multifaceted challenges affecting breathing, voice, and swallowing. SLTs are essential members of the multidisciplinary team, providing pre and postoperative assessment, counselling, and rehabilitation. Advances in treatment options and recognition of psychosocial impacts necessitate flexible, holistic care strategies. Future research should focus on validating outcome measures, implementing the COS-LTS, and incorporating patient priorities to optimize functional and quality-of-life outcomes.
