Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema: Evaluation of Prehospital Treatment With CPAP or Positive Expiratory Pressure Device.
Observational study in Chest, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundSwimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) occasionally occurs during swimming in cold open water. Although optimal treatment for SIPE is unknown, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) is an option for prehospital treatment. RESEARCH QUESTION: Is NPPV a feasible and safe prehospital treatment for SIPE, and which outcome measures reflect recovery after treatment? STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsA prospective observational study was conducted at Vansbrosimningen, Sweden's largest open water swimming event, from 2017 through 2019. Swimmers with a diagnosis of SIPE and with peripheral oxygen saturation (Spo
resultsOf 119 treated individuals, 94 received CPAP, 24 received treatment with a PEP device, and one required tracheal intubation. In total, 108 individuals (91%) were discharged after NPPV for a median of 10 to 20 min and 11 individuals (9%) required hospital transfer. NPPV resulted in increased Spo
interpretationNPPV administered as CPAP or via a PEP device proved feasible and safe as prehospital treatment for SIPE with a vast majority of patients discharged on site. Spo
