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
The influence of hypoxia on the activity of voltage-gated potassium channel in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) of rats and its roles in the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary heart disease were investigated. Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into control group (n=10), acute hypoxic group (n=10), and chronic hypoxic groups (n=60). The chronic hypoxic groups were randomly divided into 6 subgroups (n=10 each) according to the chronic hypoxic periods. The rats in the control group were kept in room air and those in acute hypoxic group in hypoxia environmental chamber for 8 h. The rats in chronic hypoxic subgroups were kept in hypoxia environmental chamber for 8 h per day for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days, respectively. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), right ventricular hypertrophy index (RVHI), and the current of voltage-gated potassium channel (I K) in PASMCs were measured. Results showed that both acute and chronic hypoxia could decrease the I K in PASMCs of rats and the I-V relationship downward shifted to the right. And the peak I K density at +60mV decreased with prolongation of hypoxia exposure. No significant difference was noted in the density of I K (at +60 mV) and I-V relationship between control group and chronic hypoxic subgroup exposed to hypoxia for 5 days (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference between control group and chronic hypoxic subgroup exposed to hypoxia for 10 days (P<0.05). Significant differences were noted in the I K density (at +60 mV) and I-V relationships between control group and chronic hypoxic subgroups exposed to hypoxia for 20 days and 30 days (P<0.01). Compared with control rats, the mPAP and RVHI were significantly increased after chronic exposure to hypoxia for 10 days (P<0.05), which were further increased with prolongation of hypoxia exposure, and there were significant differences between control group and chronic hypoxic subgroups exposed to hypoxia for 20 days and 30 days (P<0.01). Both the mPAP and the RVHI were negatively correlated with the density of I K (r=-0.89769 and -0.94476, respectively, both P<0.01). It is concluded that exposure to hypoxia may cause decreased activity of voltage-gated potassium channel, leading to hypoxia pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV). Sustained HPV may result in chronic pulmonary hypertension, even chronic pulmonary heart disease, contributing to the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary heart disease.
