Exposure to Various Degrees and Durations of Hypobaric Hypoxia Causes a Reduction in Body Weight of Female Adult Rats.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Hypobaric hypoxia refers to a condition where there is a decreased oxygen partial pressure in the air due to low atmospheric pressure. It is known to affect the metabolism, leading to increased basal metabolic rate, alterations in appetite, and changes in cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis. The effects of hypoxia on metabolism and weight loss are influenced by genetic factors, gender, and the duration and severity of exposure to hypoxia. Currently, there are no reports which elucidate the impact of hypobaric hypoxia on female laboratory rats. Objective: The aim of this study was to observe the effect of varying degrees and durations of hypobaric hypoxia on the body weight of female rats. Materials and Methods: In this study, the body weight of 36 laboratory rats divided into six groups was taken at day 0, and then, the rats were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia in a specially designed hypoxia chamber and their body weights were recorded after 5 days and 10 days of hypoxia exposure. The change in body weight at 5 days and 10 days was compared to that of their body weight before the exposure to hypoxia. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 20. Results: Body weight was reduced in all rats subjected to varying degrees and duration of hypoxia. The percentage change in body weight was higher in moderate and severe hypoxia than in the mild hypoxia group. No significant difference was observed in rats exposed to varying degrees of hypoxia for 5 days as compared to those exposed for 10 days. Conclusion: Hypoxia may cause a reduction in body weight of female rats proportionate to the increasing severity of hypoxia and this reduction remains independent of the duration of exposure to hypoxia.
