Massive haemoptysis secondary to mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysm in subacute invasive aspergillosis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
A 68-year-old man, presented with 3 week history of infective symptoms and mild haemoptysis. Past medical history included severe emphysema and a chronic right upper lobe (RUL) cavity. He was discharged from follow-up a year ago in view of clinical and radiological stability; previous bronchoscopic examinations yielded no specific diagnosis. CT scan on admission confirmed complex cavitary consolidation of RUL. He developed massive haemoptysis requiring intubation and ventilation. CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) revealed 16 mm RUL pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysm which was successfully embolized. Sputum cultures, aspergillus antigen and rapidity of clinical progression suggested a diagnosis of subacute invasive aspergillosis (SAIA), prompting treatment with Voriconazole. Bronchoscopy showed blood ooze from RUL even after embolization. Unfortunately, patient continued to deteriorate and succumbed to profound septicaemia.
