Iatrogenic Pulmonary Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Swan-Ganz Catheterization: Successful Endovascular Coil Embolization.
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
Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAPA) is a rare but life-threatening complication of Swan-Ganz catheterization. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman with severe pulmonary hypertension, mechanical mitral valve replacement requiring chronic anticoagulation, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who developed moderate hemoptysis within hours of Swan-Ganz catheterization. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) demonstrated a 12 mm pseudoaneurysm arising from a subsegmental branch of the right middle lobe pulmonary artery with surrounding alveolar hemorrhage, absent on admission imaging. Interventional radiology performed successful endovascular coil embolization using a sandwich technique, with complete resolution of hemoptysis within 24 hours of the procedure. This case highlights the importance of recognizing PAPA as a cause of post-catheterization hemoptysis, the critical role of CTA in diagnosis, and the effectiveness of endovascular coil embolization as the preferred minimally invasive treatment approach.
