Nocturnal pulse oximetry for the detection and prediction of acute mountain sickness: An observational study.
Observational study in Experimental physiology, 2024. 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
Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is a well-studied illness defined by clinical features (e.g., headache and nausea), as assessed by the Lake Louise score (LLS). Although obvious in its severe form, early stages of AMS are poorly defined and easily confused with common travel-related conditions. Measurement of hypoxaemia, the cause of AMS, should be helpful, yet to date its utility for identifying AMS susceptibility remains unclear. This study quantified altitude-induced hypoxaemia in individuals during an ascent to 4800 m to determine the utility of nocturnal pulse oximetry measurements for prediction of AMS. Eighteen individuals (36 ± 16 years of age) ascended to 4800 m over 12 days. Symptomology of AMS was assessed each morning via LLS criteria, with participants categorized as either AMS-positive (LLS ≥ 3 with headache) or AMS-negative. Overnight peripheral oxygen saturations (ov-
