Asymmetric Pulmonary Edema Due to Acute Eccentric Mitral Regurgitation Based on Pulmonary Vein Distribution.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAcute eccentric mitral regurgitation (MR) is known to cause unilateral pulmonary edema. CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old previously healthy woman presented with dyspnea and asymmetrical pulmonary infiltrates. Unlike the typical unilateral presentation, these infiltrates showed regional stratification across all 4 lung fields. Her condition worsened despite the administration of antibiotics. Echocardiography revealed severe eccentric MR caused by mitral valve prolapse and chordal rupture. Blood flow patterns in the 4 pulmonary veins corresponded to the intensity of pulmonary infiltrates in their respective lung fields. She was diagnosed with acute heart failure due to acute MR, and her condition improved following intensive treatment. DISCUSSION: This case highlights that the direct inflow of an MR jet into the pulmonary veins play a crucial role in asymmetrical pulmonary edema. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: Recognizing the correspondence between asymmetrical pulmonary edema and acute MR may facilitate timely and accurate diagnosis of acute heart failure due to acute MR.
