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

An 88-year-old woman visited our hospital for hemoptysis due to ruptured peripheral pulmonary aneurysm diagnosed by contrast computed tomography (CT) and angiography. Her bleeding was stopped by interventional radiology vascular embolization. She was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis due to a positive acid-fast bacillus (AFB) smear test following admission and the positive polymerase chain reaction for tuberculosis, despite no obvious cavity lesions or scatter shadows on CT. The causes of hemoptysis due to pulmonary tuberculosis are known to be Rasmussen aneurysm, in which the blood vessel wall adjacent to the lung cavity is thinned to form an aneurysm, or bleeding from the bronchial artery. In this case, it was considered that the inflammation caused by pulmonary tuberculosis spread directly to the pulmonary artery and formed a pulmonary aneurysm without forming a cavity. Similar cases have been rarely reported. Clinicians need to consider pulmonary tuberculosis as the cause of pulmonary aneurysm, even without cavity lesions in the lungs. It is important to perform AFB examination to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis.
