Recurrent Haemoptysis From Retained Endobronchial Sutures Successfully Managed Using Flexible Endobronchial Scissors.

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
Haemoptysis can be a challenging diagnostic dilemma. The most common causes include acute respiratory infection, cancer, bronchiectasis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, in 20% of cases no clear cause can be found. We present here a rare case of a 54-year-old male who previously had a lobectomy for lung cancer and presented with chronic low-grade haemoptysis caused by endobronchial polypropylene sutures. We detail their successful removal using a novel technique with flexible endobronchial scissors and flexible fibreoptic bronchoscopy under light sedation. This case highlights a rare cause of haemoptysis that can be easily missed without bronchoscopy. It also shows that flexible endoscopic scissors can be safely used in the airway with a flexible bronchoscope to remove a foreign body that is implanted in the airway, and reviews surgical techniques to prevent sutures in the airway.
