The effects of chronic hypoxia on the endocrine-related parameters in elderly rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic hypoxia on the endocrine-related parameters in elderly rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
methodsSixty, 55-week-old, female SD rats were studied, among which 20 were randomly divided into a blank control group (the BCG), and 40 were intraperitoneally injected with low-dose streptozotocin (STZ) for modeling and divided into a model control group (the MCG, n=20) and a hypoxic group (the HG, n=20). The BCG and the MCG were fed routinely under normoxia, while the HG was fed in the hypoxic environment of an OxyCycler Model A84XO hypoxic chamber. After 12 weeks of intervention, the body weights, the fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels, the fasting insulin (FINS) levels, the blood lipid metabolism levels, the bone densities, the fresh weights of the femurs, the biomechanical properties of the femurs, the inflammatory factor levels, the H&E staining of the liver tissue, and the oil red O staining were compared.
resultsThe increases in weight gain and the FBG and FINS levels in the HG were lower than the corresponding levels in the MCG and were higher than the levels in the BCG (
conclusionChronic hypoxia can improve the endocrine parameters and insulin resistance, improve the insulin sensitivity and the femoral biomechanics, reduce the inflammatory factors levels, and improve the glucose and lipid metabolism levels and liver function in elderly rats with type 2 diabetes.
