Laryngeal Edema Due to Cervical Hematoma Following Submandibular Liposuction: A Case Report.
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
Submandibular liposuction is a common and generally safe cosmetic procedure performed under local anesthesia. However, postoperative neck bleeding may sometimes occur and can lead to airway emergencies. We describe cautionary issues related to neck hematoma specific to post-cosmetic procedures. A 54-year-old woman developed progressive neck swelling and dyspnea immediately after submandibular liposuction at a cosmetic surgery clinic. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed laryngeal edema with airway narrowing, and emergent intubation was performed. Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrated bilateral submandibular hematomas with arterial-phase extravasation in the right submandibular region and venous-phase collapse of the left internal jugular vein. Hematoma evacuation with neck incision and tracheostomy were performed after obtaining consent the following day. The hematoma was located underneath the platysma, which may have resulted from injury to the facial vasculature caused by inadvertent trauma during liposuction. Postoperative recovery was fair. Specific issues related to submandibular liposuction include that the procedure is performed for cosmetic purposes, usually without skin incisions, and that laryngeal edema may occur secondary to compression of the internal jugular vein by the hematoma, disrupting venous outflow from the larynx. This case highlights the importance of early hematoma evacuation and decisive airway intervention in the management of serious postoperative neck bleeding.
