Human Adaptation to Deep Space Environment: An Evolutionary Perspective of the Foreseen Interplanetary Exploration.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2020. 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
Long-term and deep space exploration is a prevailing dream that is becoming a reality. Is that so? The answer to this question depends on how the main actors of space exploration, i.e., politicians, scientists, and engineers, define "long-term" and the ultimate goals of the current space programs. Presently, long-term refers to few months or years, which is equivalent to the time necessary for a manned mission to reach another planet and return to Earth. Such a space mission is a tremendous scientific challenge associated with multidisciplinary issues spanning from technology to medicine biology, social, and psychological science. It has been a priority of the main westernized societies that has attracted the brightest and most innovative scientific minds since World War II. At first the stakes were mainly political in order to demonstrate to other countries power and strength. It progressively became a scientific motivation to uncover the secrets of the Universe and life's origin, and potentially to find traces of distant life. More recently, a desire to colonize space and exploit resources on other planets has emerged as a new dream. Although the journey to Mars is still a prospective and traveling in deep space a further elusive goal, one can question the ultimate implications of deep space exploration over the long-term.
