The role of arterial embolization in pediatric Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis: a case report and literature review.
Article in Respiratory medicine 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
Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis is a rare life-threatening disorder, characterized by recurrent episodes of Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage. Currently, there are still many unresolved questions concerning its actual etiopathogenesis and, consequently, the most appropriate treatment to adopt. Through our case report we aim to highlight the role of angiography in identifying the presence of abnormal pulmonary collaterals as a possible cause of therapeutic failure. Although further studies are needed and even if it remains unclear if they are simultaneous problems or causative of one another, embolization of abnormal pulmonary arteries appears to play an important role in cases of Idiopathic Pulmonary Hemosiderosis unresponsive to conventional therapies and presenting severe side effects due to immunosuppression. After an extensive literature review, we found only two studies supporting our hypothesis; to our knowledge, this is the first case in Western world.
