High-altitude adaptation: Role of genetic and epigenetic factors.
Review in Journal of biosciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
After the completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003, the field of genetics has witnessed massive progress that spanned research in high-altitude biology also. Especially the decade of 2010s witnessed the most of it and revealed various genetic signatures of high-altitude adaptation in Tibetans, Andeans and Ethiopians. High-altitude area, with its extreme environment, harbors a tremendous potential for gene-environment interaction, an aspect that could be explored by epigenetic studies. There are only four original articles till now which explore the epigenetic aspect of high-altitude adaptation or acclimatization. However, there is no comprehensive review to provide complete information on the genetic and epigenetic aspects of high-altitude adaptations. Hence, we have prepared this mini-review to summarize the genetic and epigenetic studies that have correlated the high-altitude adaptation or acclimatization, until recently.
