Catastrophic pulmonary haemorrhage after endobronchial biopsy of necrotic lung mass.

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
Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is instrumental in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory illness, with low rates of bleeding post-procedure but unpredictable degrees of severity. Although exceedingly rare, massive pulmonary haemorrhage after FB is often catastrophic. We present a case of massive pulmonary haemorrhage after endobronchial biopsy of a 67-year-old patient with a prior diagnosis of right upper lobe (RUL) necrotic lung mass. Imaging revealed possible lymphangitic carcinomatosis and tumour invasion into the lymphatics and vasculature. Significant RUL tumour burden was visualized during the procedure, however, routine endobronchial biopsy resulted in massive pulmonary haemorrhage leading to pulseless electrical activity. Prevention of massive pulmonary haemorrhage may be possible with identification of known risk factors. Catastrophic outcomes from massive pulmonary haemorrhage remain high despite current therapies. Further studies identifying modifiable risk factors, treatment protocols, and the formulation of a multi-disciplinary action plan could prove lifesaving.
