Effectiveness of the hypoxic exercise test to predict altitude illness and performance at moderate altitude in high-level swimmers.
Article in Physiological reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeThe hypoxic exercise test is used to predict the susceptibility to severe High Altitude Illness (SHAI). In the present study, we aimed to use this test to predict the changes in performance and the physiological responses to moderate altitude in elite swimmers.
methodsEighteen elite swimmers performed a hypoxic exercise test at sea level before a moderate 12-day altitude training camp (1,850 m) to determine if they were susceptible or not to SHAI. A maximal swimming performance test was conducted before (at sea level), during (at 1,850 m), and after (at sea level) the intervention. Arterial oxygen saturation (pulse oximetry), Lake Louise score, and quality of sleep questionnaire were collected every morning. The participants were classified in two groups, those who had a moderate to high risk of SHAI (SHAI
resultsSeven swimmers presented a high risk of SHAI including three of them with a SHAI
conclusionIn a population of elite swimmers, the combination of clinical and physiological variables (SHAI
