Muscle sympathetic reactivity to apneic and exercise stress in high-altitude Sherpa.
Article in American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Lowland-dwelling populations exhibit persistent sympathetic hyperactivity at altitude that alters vascular function. High-altitude populations, such as Sherpa, have previously exhibited greater peripheral blood flow in response to acute stress than Lowlanders, which may be explained through lower sympathetic activity. Our purpose was to determine whether Sherpa exhibit lower sympathetic reactivity to stress than Lowlanders. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA; microneurography) was measured at rest in Lowlanders (
