Decreased Work Capability Related to High-Altitude Exposure.
Review in Risk management and healthcare policy, 2024. 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: The unique environment of high altitude can affect the work capacity of those not accustomed to it, and in some cases, it can even endanger their lives. Studying the effect of high-altitude exposure on work capacity is important. Still, there are few reviews on this topic. We aimed to summarize the parameters used to evaluate work capability in a high-altitude environment, the potential pathophysiological mechanisms, and the available pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for improvement. Methods: We conducted searches on PubMed, Google Scholar, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure to explore the existing literature including basic and clinical studies from 1968 to 2023, using keywords such as "work capability/performance and high-altitude hypoxia" or "work/exercise at high altitude". Conference proceedings, notes, and case reports were excluded. The CiteSpace 6.1.R3 was used for de-duplication. Results: A total of 727 papers were identified through search terms from the database. 486 papers were eliminated following the de-duplication process, lacking full text and deemed irrelevant to this article. Among the remaining 241 papers, 21 investigate the underlying mechanisms of reduced work capability due to altitude exposure, and 94 papers discuss measures to improve work capability when exposed to high altitudes. Conclusion: In conclusion, this review summarizes the evaluation of indicators, pathomechanisms, and improvement measures for high-altitude exposure-related changes in work capability. More basic research on its mechanisms and large-sample, randomized controlled clinical studies to validate its effects are needed.
