A Rare Presentation of Late-Onset Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH) is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). It is associated with a high mortality rate and recurrent episodes of widespread alveolar hemorrhage and most commonly affects children. Here, we present a rare occurrence of late-onset idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis in a 74-year-old male. He was admitted for non-resolving pneumonia, hemoptysis, and type 1 respiratory failure, along with sideropenic anemia. Chest imaging showed bilateral upper lobe and right middle lobe alveolar opacities. Infective and autoimmune etiologies of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage were ruled out during the evaluation. Transbronchial lung biopsy showed patchy alveolar hemorrhage and abundant hemosiderin pigment deposition, revealing idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis. The patient was successfully treated with oral steroids, followed by complete radiological resolution without clinical relapse at one-year follow-up.
