Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema With Concomitant Myocardial Injury: Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 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
backgroundSwimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is an underrecognized cause of acute dyspnea in healthy athletes. Risk factors include older age, female sex, asthma, and underlying cardiopulmonary disease. CASE SUMMARY: A 49-year-old man developed acute dyspnea during the swimming portion of a triathlon. On presentation, he exhibited hypoxemia, crackles, and radiographic pulmonary edema. Troponin elevation prompted further cardiac imaging, revealing preserved left ventricular function and focal acute myocardial edema. He was diagnosed with SIPE with concomitant myocardial injury; his condition improved with supportive care. REVIEW SUMMARY: SIPE is a hydrostatic imbalance triggered by cold-water immersion, exertion, and external thoracic compression. Symptoms resolve rapidly with supportive care, and outcomes are generally positive, but recurrence can occur in up to 28% of patients. The presence of myocardial injury is an uncommon finding in SIPE, and it is unclear if this finding preceded or was secondary to it. TAKE-HOME MESSAGE: SIPE may present with atypical findings including myocardial injury, and cardiologists must be vigilant to prevent misdiagnosis.
