Artificial Intelligence in Laryngeal Cancer Detection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
(1) Background: The early detection of laryngeal cancer is crucial for achieving superior patient outcomes and preserving laryngeal function. Artificial intelligence (AI) methodologies can expedite the triage of suspicious laryngeal lesions, thereby diminishing the critical timeframe required for clinical intervention. (2) Methods: We included all studies published up to February 2025. We conducted a systematic search across five major databases: MEDLINE, EMCARE, EMBASE, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library. We included 15 studies, with a total of 17,559 patients. A risk of bias assessment was performed using the QUADAS-2 tool. We conducted data synthesis using the Meta Disc 1.4 program. (3) Results: A meta-analysis revealed that AI demonstrated high sensitivity (78%) and specificity (86%), with a Pooled Diagnostic Odds Ratio of 53.77 (95% CI: 27.38 to 105.62) in detecting laryngeal cancer. The subset analysis revealed that CNN-based AI models are superior to non-CNN-based models in image analysis and lesion detection. (4) Conclusions: AI can be used in real-world settings due to its diagnostic accuracy, high sensitivity, and specificity.
