Detection of macula flava cells proliferation after vocal fold injury.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology, 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
objectivesThe role of macula flava cells in vocal fold injury repair remains unknown. This study aimed to determine whether they proliferate following vocal fold injury.
methodsTwenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (n = 5) and experimental group (n = 15). The left vocal fold was injured in rats of the experimental group. The rats were euthanized on postoperative day 1, 3, and 7. Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining was used to examine healing process. Multicolor immunofluorescence was used to detect cell types: proliferating cells (5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine, EdU), macula flava cells (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, GFAP), and fibroblasts (vimentin).
resultsOne day post-injury, the injured vocal fold lacked an epithelial layer and exhibited tissue edema. Three-day post-injury, epithelial cells had begun to cover the injured region. By seven-day post-injury, the injured region fully covered by epithelial cells and displayed atrophy. EdU-positive fibroblasts in the lamina propria significantly increased at day 3, followed by a pronounced decrease at day 7 (p < 0.05). The macula flava cells of injured vocal fold proliferated at day 3 and 7 (p = 0.008).
conclusionVocal fold injuries were repaired within seven days. The results indicated that proliferate behavior differs between macula flava cells and fibroblasts during vocal fold injury repair. Macula flava cells may be also involved in the injury repair.
