Endobronchial valves- an iatrogenic cause of hemoptysis to be considered at autopsy.

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
An 80-year-old man who presented with hemoptysis died from ischemic heart disease and emphysema with cor pulmonale. He had a past history of ischemic heart disease with previous myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with endobronchial valve insertion and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with lobe resection. On the day of death he had coughed up approximately one tablespoon of blood. While causes of hemoptysis usually include entities such as bronchitis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, tumors, adjacent aneurysms, inflammatory/infective processes or septic emboli, occasionally there may be an iatrogenic etiology. The present case demonstrates a rare cause of hemoptysis associated with medical treatment - endobronchial valve insertion with surrounding granulation tissue formation and resultant hemorrhage. Hemoptysis in decedents with COPD may, therefore, be due to treatment rather than to underlying inflammatory or neoplastic lesions.
