Surgical approach to a mycotic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery presenting with hemoptysis - A case report and a review of the literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionMycotic aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries are very rare and have high mortality. Risk groups are intravenous drug users and patients with congenital heart disorders. The surgical approach varies due to a limited number of reported cases. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We present a case of a mycotic aneurysm of the right pulmonary artery in a 56-year old man presenting with recurrent pneumonias, weight loss and hemoptysis. DISCUSSION: There is often a diagnostic delay because of non-specific symptoms mimicking more common disorders. Treatment strategies include conservative management, surgery and endovascular treatment.
conclusionThis report demonstrates a rare case of aneurysm of the pulmonary artery presenting with hemoptysis. For rapidly progressing proximal aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries, the midline surgical approach is recommended.
