Successful Treatment of Severe Laryngomalacia Due to Posterior Collapse of the Epiglottis by Correction of Glosso-Larynx (CGL): A Case Report.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
backgroundLaryngomalacia is the most common cause of inspiratory stridor in infancy. While most mild cases resolve spontaneously, severe cases may require surgical intervention. We report a case of severe laryngomalacia successfully treated with correction of glosso-larynx (CGL), a surgical procedure originally developed for ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx (ADEL).
methodsA 2-month-old infant with severe symptoms was evaluated using objective anatomical and functional metrics. The patient underwent CGL under local anesthesia to release restrictive tension on the hyoid-larynx complex.
resultsThe patient showed rapid and sustained improvement in respiratory symptoms. At the one-month follow-up, endoscopic examination confirmed functional airway expansion with limited to no morbidity.
conclusionsThis case demonstrates that CGL may represent a feasible and minimally invasive therapeutic option for selected cases of severe laryngomalacia, particularly those involving complex tongue-larynx dynamics.
