Airway closure in a patient with acute heart failure: a case report.
Article in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2025. 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
backgroundAirway closure occurs in small airways and disconnects distal airways from proximal airways. This pathology may lead to acute pulmonary edema, worsening gas exchange and creating challenges in ventilator management. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 68-year-old woman who was admitted to the hospital because of non-ST elevation acute myocardial infarction and was subsequently intubated because of refractory pulmonary edema. The low-flow inflation procedure revealed airway closure, and the positive end-expiratory pressure was titrated according to the airway opening pressure.
conclusionsAcute pulmonary edema may be accompanied by airway closure. A simple bedside procedure can indicate the presence of this complication and guide positive end-expiratory pressure setting.
