Case Report: a rare pediatric case series of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B presenting with laryngotracheal involvement.

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: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by activating germline mutations in the Methods: From 2013 to 2025, two pediatric patients diagnosed with MEN2B were identified at our center. Both cases were confirmed to harbor pathogenic Result: In this study, we describe two pediatric cases of MEN2B in which laryngeal obstruction and progressive respiratory compromise were the initial clinical manifestations. Laryngoscope and CT examinations revealed mucosal neuromas within the laryngotracheal airway, and postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of neuroma. We further review the available literature on laryngotracheal involvement in MEN2B to elucidate its phenotypic spectrum and clinical implications. Timely recognition through detailed phenotypic assessment, molecular confirmation of Conclusion: Laryngeal or airway neuromas are extremely rare. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for laryngeal neuromas in children presenting with characteristic craniofacial dysmorphism or a family history suggestive of endocrine neoplasia, as prompt genetic evaluation and integrated management may be life-saving.
