A case report and review of literature of Dieulafoy's disease of bronchus: A rare life-threatening pathologic vascular condition.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
rationaleDieulafoy's lesions are characterized by the presence of a dysplastic artery in the submucosa, most frequently associated with gastrointestinal hemorrhage. They are rarely identified in the bronchial submucosa and can cause massive or fatal hemoptysis PATIENT CONCERNS:: The patient was a 62-year-old male farmer with intermittent hemoptysis of approximately 2 years duration and a definite diagnosis could not be established. DIAGNOSIS: A thorax-computed tomography at our hospital revealed that the bronchus of left lower lobe was narrowed with associated local atelectasis, and lung cancer was suspected. A bronchoscopy showed a slit-like stenosis of the left lower lobe, swollen and smooth mucosa, and a significantly wider subsection carina.
interventionsA fatal hemorrhage occurred during biopsy and, rescue and resuscitation measures were immediately taken. A double-lumen endotracheal intubation was implanted and single-lung ventilation was started to maintain oxygenation. Hemoptysis completely stopped after bronchial artery embolization. OUTCOMES: The patient eventually died of disseminative intravascular coagulation and multiple organ failure. Bronchial arteriography and subsequent autopsy confirmed Dieulafoy's disease of the bronchus. LESSONS: In cases with recurrent unexplained hemoptysis, where CT chest or thoracic radiography show no abnormalities, pulmonologist should suspect a bronchial Dieulafoy's disease and avoid blindly performing bronchoscopy guided biopsy, which may result in fatal hemoptysis.
