Pulmonary edema in Dengue: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Le infezioni in medicina, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Pulmonary edema is a potentially life-threatening complication of dengue. The recorded incidence of pulmonary edema has varied widely between studies. Therefore, we aimed to systematically review the literature on this topic and, through meta-analysis, estimate the pooled incidence of pulmonary edema in dengue using published data. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases was conducted from January 2000 to February 2025, in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Studies reporting the incidence of pulmonary edema in patients with dengue were included. Pooled incidence estimates for pulmonary edema in dengue were calculated via meta-analysis in R version 4.3.2 using a random-effects model. Results: Our search revealed 432 results, of which five studies met our inclusion criteria. The incidence of pulmonary edema among dengue patients varied across studies, ranging from low to moderate. We observed minimal risk of bias across studies. Our meta-analysis found a pooled incidence of pulmonary edema in dengue of 9.14% [95% CI = 6.98%-11.89%]. Conclusion: Our investigation suggests that a non-negligible proportion of dengue patients may develop pulmonary edema. Acknowledging the risk of pulmonary edema and monitoring it are essential to ensuring effective prevention of pulmonary morbidity in dengue. Additionally, we suggest that clinicians assess for underlying dengue infection when managing pulmonary edema, particularly in regions at high risk.
