Lung Cancer-Like Presentation of Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.

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
A woman in her 50s presented with a two-month history of haemoptysis, dyspnea, cough and weight loss. She had recently undergone radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. A computed tomography (CT) scan of her chest showed left upper lobe opacity, mediastinal lymphadenopathy, and left pleural effusion, concerning for malignancy. Bronchoscopy revealed a malignant-appearing lesion that was negative for malignancy on biopsy. Despite improvement of the CT abnormalities and the lesion on a repeat bronchoscopy, she continued to experience recurrent episodes of dyspnea and haemoptysis. A ventilation/perfusion scan showed decreased perfusion to her left lung. A CT pulmonary angiogram with pulmonary vein phase established the diagnosis of pulmonary vein stenosis. This case highlights the necessity of considering pulmonary vein stenosis in patients post-ablation presenting with features suggestive of lung cancer to avoid unnecessary delays in diagnosis and treatment.
