Successful hemostatic radiotherapy for massive airway bleeding from infectious pulmonary cavity: a case report.

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
We present a patient with life-threatening airway bleeding from an infectious pulmonary cavity with limited treatment options. Bronchial artery embolization was unsuccessful. Surgery was not feasible due to compromised lung function. Lung transplant was considered but not endorsed. Palliative hemostatic radiotherapy with 20 Gy in 5 fractions was delivered to the site of bleeding as a last resort. Hemoptysis gradually disappeared within a month and did not recur during the 4‑month follow-up. There were no side effects. We highlight the potential of radiotherapy for massive hemoptysis of infectious etiology, especially in cases with exhausted standard treatment options.
