Behçet's Disease Presenting With Massive Haemoptysis Due to Pulmonary Artery Aneurysms: A Case Report.
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
An information technology worker of South Asian heritage in his 30s presented with haematemesis and central chest pain. Initial evaluation, including oesophagogastroduodenoscopy, was unremarkable. Subsequent imaging revealed multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms. Blood tests showed a negative autoimmune profile and raised inflammatory markers. Infectious, thromboembolic and connective-tissue differentials were excluded. A history of oral ulcers with genital ulceration, together with vascular involvement, fulfilled International Criteria for Behçet's Disease (ICBD). Given the life-threatening risk, we initiated intravenous methylprednisolone followed by cyclophosphamide, later transitioning to azathioprine with a structured steroid taper. Haemoptysis ceased promptly, and follow-up imaging showed aneurysm resolution. This case illustrates how haemoptysis can masquerade as gastrointestinal bleeding and emphasises the need to consider pulmonary artery aneurysms in young patients with compatible systemic features, where early imaging and rapid immunosuppression may be lifesaving.
