Laryngeal amyloidosis: a single-centre four-patient case series highlighting diagnostic challenges and clinical heterogeneity.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Laryngeal amyloidosis is a rare condition that may mimic benign, malignant or functional laryngeal disorders. We present a single-centre four-patient case series demonstrating clinical heterogeneity in anatomical distribution, amyloid typing, systemic association and management. All four cases were confirmed histologically. Two patients had localized AL laryngeal amyloidosis following specialist assessment, one patient had laryngotracheal amyloid deposition in the context of known multiple myeloma, and one patient had untyped laryngeal amyloidosis involving the bilateral ventricles and vocal cords. Management varied from conservative airway surveillance to endoscopic debridement, guided by symptom burden, anatomical extent, airway risk and systemic context. This series highlights that the value of reporting multiple cases lies not only in rarity, but in comparing consistent diagnostic principles with divergent disease behaviour and treatment pathways.
