First report of a cartilaginous choristoma of the false vocal fold: a case of direct laryngoscopic excision and literature review.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Introduction: Choristomas are normal tissue in an abnormal location. Intraoral cartilaginous choristomas are rare, with no prior cases reported in the false vocal fold, making this a novel finding. Case presentation: A 48-year-old male smoker presented with a 5-month history of a foreign body sensation. Examination revealed a firm, submucosal nodule on the right false vocal fold. The mass was excised completely via direct laryngoscopy. Discussion: This is the first documented case in this location. The pathogenesis likely involves displaced embryonic rests from branchial arch development. It is crucial to distinguish this benign lesion from malignancies like chondrosarcoma based on its well-circumscribed nature and lack of cytological atypia. Complete excision is curative. Conclusion: Cartilaginous choristoma should be considered a rare cause of a laryngeal mass. Endoscopic excision is the treatment of choice and appears definitive.
