Hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning for prevention of acute high-altitude diseases: Fact or fiction?
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Acute high-altitude diseases, including acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), have been recognized as potentially lethal diseases for altitude climbers. Various preconditioning stimuli, including hyperbaric oxygen (HBO), have been proposed to prevent acute high-altitude diseases. Herein, we reviewed whether and how HBO preconditioning could affect high-altitude diseases and summarized the results of current trials. Evidence suggests that HBO preconditioning may be a safe and effective preventive method for acute high-altitude diseases. The proposed mechanisms of HBO preconditioning in preventing high-altitude diseases may involve: 1) protection of the blood-brain barrier and prevention of brain edema, 2) inhibition of the inflammatory responses, 3) induction of the hypoxia-inducible factor and its target genes, and 4) increase in antioxidant activity. However, the optimal protocol of HBO preconditioning needs further exploration. Translating the beneficial effects of HBO preconditioning into current practice requires the "conditioning strategies" approach. More large-scale and high-quality randomized controlled studies are needed in the future.
