Ortner syndrome as a cause of sudden dysphonia, a little-known etiology
Article in Revista de la Facultad de Ciencias Medicas (Cordoba, Argentina), 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
Clinical case: A 77-year-old woman was admitted with symptoms of heart failure and sudden dysphonia. Imaging tests revealed a pericardial effusion and the existence of severe cardiomegaly at the expense of an aneurysmal left atrium. Pericardiocentesis was performed, with improvement in the clinical picture of heart failure, although residual dysphonia persisted upon discharge. Discussion: Ortner syndrome or cardiovocal syndrome consists of paralysis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve caused by a cardiovascular condition, usually and originally described by left atrial dilation in relation to rheumatic mitral valve disease. Early diagnosis can be useful to initiate immediate treatment and restore vocal cord function. Conclusion: When assessing possible causes of dysphonia, it is important to take into account the cardiac etiology, since despite the fact that this syndrome has a low prevalence, it is important to take it into account since its treatment requires multidisciplinary management.
