Endoscopic Suture Ligation and Sclerotherapy for Pharyngolaryngeal Venous Malformation.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 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
objectivePharyngolaryngeal venous malformations (VMs) can cause airway obstruction and bleeding. This study evaluates the effectiveness of suture ligation combined with sclerotherapy for VM management.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 53 patients with pharyngolaryngeal VMs treated between January 2017 and September 2024. Preoperative evaluation included fibreoptic laryngoscopy and imaging. Suture ligation aimed to transfix and obstruct the VM, followed by intralesional bleomycin injection.
resultsThe study included 23 males and 30 females (mean age 50.19 years). Most cases (71.7%) were solitary lesions. A single procedure achieved complete VM resolution in 79.25% of patients, with only one case showing minimal (less than 50%) reduction. Reoperation achieved complete regression in an additional 16.98% (nine cases). No prophylactic or emergent tracheostomy was necessary. One patient had a pre-existing tracheostomy. No serious postoperative complications occurred.
conclusionSuture ligation combined with sclerotherapy offers a safe, minimally invasive, and effective approach for treating pharyngolaryngeal VMs. This technique achieves high success rates with minimal complications, promoting patient satisfaction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4:
