An update on environment-induced pulmonary edema - "When the lungs leak under water and in thin air".
Review in Frontiers in physiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Acute pulmonary edema is a serious condition that may occur as a result of increased hydrostatic forces within the lung microvasculature or increased microvascular permeability. Heart failure or other cardiac or renal disease are common causes of cardiogenic pulmonary edema. However, pulmonary edema may even occur in young and healthy individuals when exposed to extreme environments, such as immersion in water or at high altitude. Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) share some morphological and clinical characteristics; however, their underlying mechanisms may be different. An emerging understanding of IPE indicates that an increase in pulmonary artery and capillary pressures caused by substantial redistribution of venous blood from the extremities to the chest, in combination with stimuli aggravating the effects of water immersion, such as exercise and cold temperature, play an important role, distinct from hypoxia-induced vasoconstriction in high altitude pulmonary edema. This review aims at a current perspective on both IPE and HAPE, providing a comparative view of clinical presentation and pathophysiology. A particular emphasis will be on recent advances in understanding of the pathophysiology and occurrence of IPE with a future perspective on remaining research needs.
