1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundDieulafoy's disease of the bronchus is an arterial abnormality characterized by enlarged mucosal arterial branches that are susceptible to lethal bleeding. To date, this disease is rarely reported in the literature. We recently encountered three patients from February 2010 to March 2017, each with such a vascular anomaly in a bronchus with massive hemoptysis.

aimThis paper describes the clinical characteristics and treatments for Dieulafoy's disease.

methodsWe report three cases with recurrent massive hemoptysis. Bronchoscopic examination was performed on two patients, one with a non-pulsating polypoid nodule and the other without. One patient had fatal bleeding after biopsy and could not withstand bronchial artery embolization or thoracotomy. Angiography and bronchial artery embolization on another two patients successfully stopped the bleeding. In addition, we retrospectively reviewed the literature on all reported cases with cryptogenic hemoptysis, obtained through PubMed and Chinese journal searches.

resultsThe intervention with embolization was successful, and no new episodes of acute hemoptysis were observed.

conclusionAngiography can be used for diagnosis of Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus, whereas bronchoscopy biopsy should be avoided. Interventions such as embolization or bronchial coagulation play an important role in patients with coughing with massive hemoptysis.
