Bronchoscopy-guided bronchial artery embolization: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical 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
backgroundDieulafoy's disease is characterized by anomalous submucosal arterial branches, often presenting with severe symptoms such as hemoptysis and respiratory infections. Although primarily reported in the gastrointestinal tract, its occurrence in the bronchi is rare and challenging to cure. Traditional bronchial artery embolization often struggles with precise localization of the abnormal vessels. This case highlights the innovative use of bronchoscopy-guided bronchial artery embolization, enhancing procedural accuracy and clinical outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old Chinese woman with no significant respiratory history presented with persistent cough and sputum production for over 8 months, worsening with chest tightness for more than 1 month. Imaging studies, including chest computed tomography and bronchial artery computed tomography angiography revealed a vascular malformation consistent with Dieulafoy's disease in the right middle lobe bronchus. Using bronchoscopy for localization, the patient underwent an accurate bronchial artery embolization. Post-procedure imaging confirmed successful embolization of the abnormal artery, leading to significant alleviation of symptoms.
conclusionThis case demonstrates the clinical use of bronchoscopy-guided bronchial artery embolization in managing bronchial Dieulafoy's disease. The innovative use of bronchoscopy for localization enhances procedural accuracy, potentially improving patient outcomes and reducing complications. This approach may offer a safer and more effective alternative to traditional bronchial artery embolization, especially in cases when precise localization is difficult. Bronchoscopy-guided bronchial artery embolization is feasible and prudent.
