Massive hemothorax following CT-guided lung biopsy: A rare iatrogenic complication managed conservatively.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
CT-guided transthoracic lung biopsy is an essential diagnostic technique for evaluating pulmonary lesions. Although rare, major complications such as hemothorax can be life-threatening. We report the case of a 35-year-old woman who developed a rapidly enlarging right hemothorax several hours after CT-guided core needle biopsy of a pleura-abutting right lower lobe mass. There was no arterial extravasation, and chest tube drainage yielded approximately 1500 mL of dark, clotted blood, suggesting a venous or tumoral source. The patient remained hemodynamically stable and achieved complete recovery with conservative management. This case highlights that even massive post-biopsy hemothorax can be successfully treated non-operatively in stable patients by adhering to trauma-based management principles.
