Factors Influencing the Accessibility of Transcutaneous Laryngeal Ultrasound in Patients with Glottic Insufficiency Undergoing Injection Laryngoplasty.

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
Background: Transcutaneous laryngeal ultrasound (TLUS) can provide a series of high-resolution images of the laryngeal anatomy and guide injection laryngoplasty (IL). This study aimed to assess the factors affecting the accessibility of the larynx during TLUS. Methods: Patients with glottic insufficiency undergoing IL were included. All patients underwent TLUS before IL in an office setting. Patient demographic data, including age, sex, height, weight, comorbidities, the site of IL, the reason for IL, history of neck surgery or radiotherapy, and accessibility, were recorded. Results: In all, 85 patients, including 46 women and 39 men, were enrolled. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed age and sex as the most important factors influencing the accessibility of TLUS. Patients with inaccessibility during TLUS, defined as an inability to visualize the vocal folds using the anterior, lateral, and lateral longitudinal approaches, were significantly older (odds ratio [OR] = 1.089, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.005-1.179, Conclusion: TLUS is an objective assessment and real-time tool for patients undergoing IL. Female and younger patients are considered better candidates for IL under TLUS or for follow-up evaluation using TLUS.
