1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesManaging hemoptysis can be challenging due to recurrences after different treatment methods. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and long-term outcomes of bronchial artery embolization (BAE) in controlling hemoptysis and improving patient survival.

methodsIn this prospective cohort study, patients with hemoptysis undergoing BAE between August 2017 and August 2022 were enrolled and prospectively followed. Clinical characteristics, underlying etiologies, complications, and post-procedural recurrences were prospectively recorded during a 1- to 4-year follow-up period. The survival for each factor was graphed in subgroups by the Kaplan-Meier (KM) curve and presented the estimation of the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) from the univariate Cox proportional hazard (PH) model.

resultsA total of 297 patients (32% female, 58% with massive hemoptysis) were included. The mean survival time (MST) for all-cause mortality was 35.9 months (95% CI 33.6-38.3) and for hemoptysis-related death was 45.1 months (95% CI 43.8-46.4). The overall recurrence rate was 14.6% at 1-month post-BAE, decreased to 5.7% by the 9th month, and rose again to approximately 20% during long-term follow-up. Recurrence was significantly 71% higher in patients with non-massive hemoptysis (46.6%) compared with those with massive hemoptysis (33.8%, OR = 1.71, 95% CI 1.05-2.80, P = 0.03).

conclusionsBAE effectively controls life-threatening hemoptysis with favorable long-term survival and acceptable recurrence rates. Optimized management of the underlying pulmonary disease may further improve BAE outcomes and reduce recurrence risk.
