Dynamic postcricoid venous malformation causing episodic airway obstruction: a multidisciplinary report.
Article in Oral radiology, 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
purposeTo describe a rare case and presentation of a dynamic postcricoid hypopharyngeal venous malformation in a young child, including its diagnostic work-up, and successful multidisciplinary treatment with percutaneous ethanol sclerotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsUnder general anesthesia, the patient was intubated, and the airway was evaluated by otolaryngology using a Miller laryngoscope with Hopkins rod visualization of the postcricoid region. A controlled Valsalva maneuver was performed by anesthesia to distend the venous malformation and enhance visualization. Interventional radiology then directly punctured the lesion with a 21-gauge needle, injected contrast to confirm intralesional placement, and performed sclerotherapy with 1.5 cc of 98% ethanol.
resultsSclerotherapy was technically and clinically successful. Follow-up laryngoscopy demonstrated complete resolution of the patient's symptoms along with resolution of the venous malformation without complications.
conclusionThis case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing dynamic airway vascular anomalies and demonstrates the safety and efficacy of percutaneous alcohol sclerotherapy for pediatric airway venous malformations.
