Severe Rheumatic Mitral Stenosis Presenting as Recurrent Hemoptysis in a Young Female With Respiratory Symptoms.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rheumatic mitral stenosis remains a significant cause of cardiovascular morbidity in young adults worldwide, yet its diagnosis can be challenging when clinical presentation overlaps with concurrent infections. We present a case of a woman in her 30s who presented with dyspnoea, fever, and haemoptysis, initially attributed to community-acquired pneumonia with concurrent viral and bacterial infection. She received appropriate treatment and was discharged; however, her symptoms persisted, and she developed alveolar haemorrhage, prompting further investigations, which ultimately revealed severe mitral stenosis secondary to rheumatic heart disease. This case underscores the diagnostic complexity of mitral stenosis in the setting of overlapping pulmonary infections and highlights the critical importance of maintaining a broad differential diagnosis and pursuing thorough cardiac assessment in patients with unexplained haemoptysis.
