Hemoptysis as the Initial Presentation of a Ruptured Aortic Aneurysm: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Hemoptysis has a broad differential diagnosis, with common causes including bronchiectasis, bronchitis, pulmonary tuberculosis, and lung neoplasms. While often benign, it can sometimes indicate more severe, life-threatening conditions. Herein we report the case of an 86-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with a 30-day history of hemoptysis ultimately leading to hemodynamic instability. She was initially admitted to the emergency department for resuscitation and diagnostic workup. During the hospitalization, we identified a large, ruptured aneurysm of the descending and diaphragmatic aorta contained by a hematoma communicating the tracheobronchial tree. This case highlights the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis in patients presenting with hemoptysis as it can signal severe underlying conditions such as a ruptured aortic aneurysm. Early recognition and appropriate management of these cases are crucial to improving patient outcomes.
