Massive Haemothorax Following CT-Guided Lung Biopsy Revealing Previously Undiagnosed Acquired Haemophilia A.
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
CT-guided lung biopsy is a commonly performed procedure with recognised complications, including pneumothorax and pulmonary haemorrhage. Massive haemothorax following biopsy is rare and may indicate an underlying coagulopathy. We present the case of a 75-year-old man who developed a life-threatening haemothorax following a CT-guided biopsy of a left lower lobe lung lesion. Despite initial haemodynamic stability, the patient's clinical course required transfusion, pulmonary artery embolisation, chest drainage, and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The development of spontaneous iliopsoas and quadriceps haematomas during admission prompted further haematological investigation, which revealed previously undiagnosed acquired haemophilia A (AHA). This report highlights the importance of recognising disproportionate bleeding following interventional procedures and maintaining a low threshold for investigating occult bleeding disorders. Early multidisciplinary involvement was essential in achieving a favourable outcome.
