1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThis study investigates the effects of different levels of acute normobaric hypoxia on cognitive function and cerebral oxygenation in healthy young adults.

methodsTwenty-four participants aged 18-30 years were exposed to hypoxia with an inspired oxygen fraction (FiO

resultsIn this study, we did not observe any effect of hypoxia on cognitive performance. However, perceived difficulty increased with increasing hypoxia, especially for the Stroop task (p = 0.003, Kendall's W = 0.208) and Corsi (p = 0.018, Kendall's W = 0.152). NIRS results showed a progressive increase in deoxyhemoglobin (ΔHHb) and a progressive decrease in oxyhemoglobin (ΔO

conclusionIn conclusion, cognitive function appears to be unaffected by acute exposure to acute normobaric hypoxia at FiO
