Study of acute hypoxia markers in healthy subjects: Utility in post-crash investigation.
Article in Medical journal, Armed Forces India, 2017. 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
backgroundLactic acid is being routinely used as a marker of hypoxia in aircrash investigation. Since lactic acid estimation as a marker of hypoxia in postmortem samples for aircrash investigation is prone to many interfering factors, like the postmortem production and hemolysis. A study was carried out to evaluate other hypoxia markers other than lactic acid which could be later added as markers of hypoxia in postmortem investigations of aircraft accidents.
methods25 healthy males of age 20-40 yrs volunteered participants were subjected to an simulated altitude of 15,000 ft for 30 min and the mean plasma concentration of Hypoxia Inducing Factor 1α (HIF 1α), Erythropoietin (EPO), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and lactic acid (LA) were analyzed from their venous blood sample collected at 4 intervals viz. Ground level pre exposure, 15,000 ft at 15 min, 15,000 ft at 30 min and Ground level 3 h post exposure.
resultsStatistical analysis revealed significant increase in mean plasma concentration of lactic acid, HIF-1α and EPO on exposure for duration of 15 min and 30 min at an altitude of 15,000 ft.
conclusionOur study reveals that HIF-1α and EPO are sensitive to hypoxia exposure as compared to lactic acid and can be used in association with LA as hypoxia markers. However stability of these proteins in postmortem conditions needs to be studied and the potential for estimation of mRNA transcripts of HIF-1α and EPO, which would be stable in postmortem conditions, can be explored.
