[Branchial cleft anomalies of the neck : Embryology, clinical presentation, and management].
Review in HNO, 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
Branchial cleft anomalies are the second most common congenital neck lesion. They present as cysts, sinuses, or fistulas arising from remnants of the pharyngeal apparatus; second arch anomalies predominate. The embryologic origin determines their anatomical relationships to nerves, vessels, and the pharynx and guides diagnosis and surgical planning. Typical findings are cervical swelling, cutaneous discharge, or recurrent infection. Third and fourth branchial anomalies may cause recurrent neck abscesses or acute suppurative thyroiditis, particularly in children. Ultrasonography is the primary imaging modality. Complete excision during a non-acute inflammatory interval remains the treatment of choice. Endoscopic treatments have become established as the first-line approach for pyriform sinus tract anomalies due to lower morbidity. Branchio-oto-renal syndrome should be considered in patients with ear malformations, hearing impairment, or renal abnormalities.
