Sequential Laser Photoresection and Cryotherapy for Very Late Recurrent Subglottic Atypical Carcinoid: A Case Report.

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
Atypical pulmonary carcinoids may recur many years after initial treatment, but very late central-airway recurrence is uncommon and its optimal endoscopic management is uncertain. We report a 67-year-old man with metastatic atypical pulmonary carcinoid who developed recurrent subglottic disease almost 20 years after pulmonary resection. Following mild haemoptysis and inspiratory dyspnoea, bronchoscopy showed progression of a known subglottic lesion causing approximately 80% tracheal obstruction. Laser photoresection achieved rapid debulking, haemostasis and marked airway recanalization. Residual endoluminal disease was treated 5 months later with cryotherapy, resulting in complete endoscopic recanalization. No major complications occurred, symptoms resolved, and follow-up bronchoscopy at 3 months showed sustained airway patency without significant residual obstruction. This case illustrates the feasibility of a sequential multimodal bronchoscopic approach combining immediate thermal debulking with non-thermal treatment of residual disease.
