A case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage secondary to fat embolism after long bone fracture.

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
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a known complication of long bone fractures, frequently presenting with hypoxemia. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a rare complication of the condition. Imaging characteristics are frequently non-specific to FES, as are findings on bronchoalveolar lavage. No specific treatment exists, though steroids and albumin can be considered. We present the case of an 18 year old male who presented to the emergency room after a motorcycle collision. His CXR was initially clear, but he developed pulmonary infiltrates, a new oxygen requirement, and hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy confirmed DAH by serial lavage, and BAL was notable for abundant lipid-laden macrophages by Oil-red-O stain
