Neurology and altitude illness.
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Problems at altitude are most often thought of in trained athletes summiting extremes of elevation. A more common group that needs consideration is the average person with obstructive sleep apnea who must travel to high altitudes for business or pleasure. While the altitudes involved are not likely to be as extreme as for those athletes climbing peaks like Mt. Everest, the increases in elevation may present difficulties for patients, especially if overnight stay is expected. The pathophysiology of altitude-related CNS, respiratory, and sleep disorders is discussed along with treatment options.
