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 37-year-old woman presented to the hospital with a history of a small amount of hemoptysis. Bronchoscopy revealed a polypoid lesion in the left main bronchus. Due to oozing bleeding from the lesion, biopsy was deferred to avoid fatal haemorrhage risk. Bronchial angiography revealed an abnormal tortuous branch with pulmonary artery shunting. Bronchial artery embolisation with coils was successfully performed without complications. Bronchial Dieulafoy's disease was diagnosed. Follow-up bronchoscopy approximately 4 months post-embolisation showed regression of the polypoid lesion, with residual scar formation. Subsequently, the hemoptysis resolved completely. Dieulafoy's disease is characterised by a large-calibre, submucosal artery lying just beneath the mucosa, predisposing to abrupt haemorrhage despite minimal or no mucosal defect. Although this disease has been classically described in the gastrointestinal tract, analogous lesions also occur in the bronchial tree. This case highlights the visual confirmation of lesion regression by bronchoscopy after bronchial artery embolisation.
