Cries, Stridor, and Clues: Unmasking a Rare Airway Obstruction in an Infant.
Article in Cureus, 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
Laryngomalacia is the predominant cause of airway obstruction resulting in stridor among newborns, constituting a significant percentage of all congenital stridor instances. Vallecular cysts, though rare, represent an important differential diagnosis, responsible for a notable percentage of all congenital laryngeal cysts. The frequency of vallecular cysts is considered low among newborns. We report a vallecular cyst case in a baby who had respiratory distress and inspiratory stridor. Diagnosis was made by direct laryngoscopy, and the cyst was completely excised, resulting in the resolution of symptoms. On follow-up after a few months, there was no evidence of recurrence. This case is documented due to its rarity and to enhance awareness of vallecular cysts as a possible etiology of stridor and respiratory distress in babies. It also emphasizes the importance of thorough clinical assessment and interdisciplinary evaluation. Furthermore, the case highlights the effectiveness of complete excision over marsupialization in preventing recurrence.
