Massive hemoptysis in mycobacterium abscessus lung disease: Interventional management with bronchial artery embolization.
Article in IDCases, 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
In older women without traditional risk factors, Lady Windermere syndrome is a recognized phenotypic presentation of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease that is traditionally linked to Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection. It is characterized by a nodular-bronchiectatic pattern that usually affects the lingula and right middle lobe. Hemoptysis is a known sequence of NTM, severity of which may vary from minor episode to multiple, fatal. We present a case of a female treated case of tuberculosis and then presenting with massive hemoptysis. Radiological assessment showed bronchiectasis and nodular infiltrates in the right middle lobe consistent with Lady Windermere syndrome. Sputum examination confirmed the growth of mycobacterium abcessus. Hemoptysis caused by this infective agent was massive and non-refractory to medical treatment. Bleeding from several feeder vessels was promptly controlled by an urgent bronchial artery embolization. Patient was started on targeted, evidence based treatment regimen for mycobacterium abcessus and had reserved lung functions, maintained sputum conversion and was symptomatically better at an 18- months follow-up. This case highlights the association of non-mycobacterium with hemoptysis severe enough to require bronchial artery embolization. For best results, it emphasizes on the necessity for a multidisciplinary strategy that combines the management of an infectious illness with radiological intervention.
