Impact of respiratory muscle training on exercise tolerance in hypobaric hypoxia: A pilot study in adult males.

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
Hypoxia and certain chronic diseases can increase the work of breathing, potentially impacting the muscle hyperemic response during exercise and overall exercise performance. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has been observed to decrease perceived effort under hypoxic conditions; however, it remains unclear if RMT affects exercise performance in acute hypoxia. We investigated whether 4 weeks of RMT could enhance submaximal and maximal exercise performance in hypoxia (barometric pressure = 425 mmHg, ~4876 m). Seven adult males underwent a 250 kJ submaximal (target RPE 15-17) cycling trial in hypoxia, followed by an incremental test to maximal exertion. After 4 weeks of RMT under normoxic conditions, these tests were repeated in hypoxia. After RMT, RPE showed no significant difference during the submaximal test (Pre-RMT: 16 ± 0.45, Post-RMT: 16 ± 0.45, p > 0.05) despite an increase in HR (Pre-RMT:154 ± 16, Post-RMT: 161 ± 12, p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in submaximal exercise performance. However, RMT did raise maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O
