Successful management of traumatic giant pulmonary hematoma in poly-trauma patient.

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
Traumatic pulmonary giant hematoma, resulting from blunt trauma, is a relatively rare event. Here, we report the rare case of a patient with a giant traumatic pulmonary hematoma that was associated with blunt trauma. A 50-year-old man was admitted to our medical center after a fall from a height of 5 m. He was diagnosed with pulmonary contusion, and tests showed a huge pulmonary hematoma of approximately 8.2 × 5.3 × 13.2 cm in the left lung field along with other significant injuries. Treatment comprised of aggressive coagulation management, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and pulmonary hygiene. The patient's symptoms gradually improved and magnetic resonance scan revealed that he did not develop an abscess formation. No complications were seen at the 6 months follow-up visit. If the above mentioned measures would have failed to control the bleeding or secondary infection, then emergency surgery would have been warranted. Awareness of this kind of injury and efforts to reduce infection are important to guide the giant traumatic pulmonary hematoma to the benign course.
