Altitude, training and human performance.
Review in Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.), 1988. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The effect of altitude on human performance is complex. Numerous variables are known to change from sea-level measures. Maximum aerobic power is depressed as ascent occurs and this impairs the ability to work maximally. While changes in haematological variables would theoretically counterbalance the loss in aerobic power, they have not been shown to do so. The environmental stress of cold may have positive effects on aerobic capacity at altitude, but this has been little investigated in humans. Pulmonary ventilation increases with altitude and the measure of hypoxic ventilatory response holds some promise of predicting humans who may benefit from altitude conditioning. Cardiac function is well maintained while lung function is not. The preferred fuel for exercise at altitude seems to be fat, while carbohydrate metabolism is dramatically changed. Much is not known of high altitude anorexia and muscle mass loss. Conditioning at altitude is known to benefit performance at altitude. The evidence for a sea-level benefit from altitude training as yet remains elusive. While selected individuals may benefit, the reasons why have not been determined.
