Arterial blood gases and ventilation at rest by age and sex in an adult Andean population resident at high altitude.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
purposeArterial blood gases (ABG) are influenced by the altitude above sea level, age and sex. Most studies have been conducted at sea level and in small populations ascending to or residents at very high altitudes. Our objective was to evaluate the ventilation and ABG by age and sex in an Andean population resident at high altitude (2640 m).
methodsAnalytical cross-sectional study was done in healthy volunteers. ABG and minute ventilation (VE) were measured. T test and ANOVA for differences by sex and age, and Pearson test for correlations between age, VE and ABG were performed.
resultsWe included 374 adults, 55% women from 18 to 83 years and hemoglobin of 15.7 ± 1.6 g/dl. There was a significant decrease in PaO
conclusionsIn this study, with a considerable number of healthy adults living at high altitude (2640 m), we established the physiological impact of altitude, aging and gender in ABG. The PaO
