Breathtaking heights: Lung mechanics and pulmonary extravascular fluid accumulation in female climbers during the K2 expedition.
Article in Experimental physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Female physiological responses to hypoxia remain underexplored, despite growing participation in mountaineering expeditions. Pulmonary interstitial oedema described during acute hypobaric hypoxia can be exacerbated by prolonged physical exercise. It is unclear whether these factors alter the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged exercise at terrestrial high altitude would result in interstitial oedema, quantified as B-lines by lung ultrasound, decreased respiratory reactance (X
