1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Following prolonged exposure to hypoxic conditions, for example, due to ascent to high altitude, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema can develop. The exact nature and genesis of hypoxia-induced edema in healthy individuals remain unresolved. We examined the effects of prolonged, normobaric hypoxia, induced by 16 h of exposure to simulated high altitude, on healthy brains using proton, dynamic contrast enhanced, and sodium MRI. This dual approach allowed us to directly measure key factors in the development of hypoxia-induced brain edema: (1) Sodium signals as a surrogate of the distribution of electrolytes within the cerebral tissue and (2) K
