[Characterisation of hypobaric hypoxia at 2240 metres above sea level].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2026. 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 is little known in healthy subjects at 2240 meters above sea level. Objective: To characterize hypobaric hypoxia in healthy subjects at 2240 meters above sea level. Material and methods: Healthy subjects residing in Mexico City were studied using an analytical cross-sectional design. Their demographic and oxygenation variables were analyzed by gender using the t test for independent variables and p < 0.05. Oxygenation indices were characterized using Pearson's correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient, and coefficient of determination. Results: A total of 244 healthy subjects residing in Mexico City, aged 49 ± 9, 122 (50%) males, were studied; body mass index in men: 22.92 ± 1.63 versus 22.87 ± 1.43 in women, p = 0.792. Total PaO2 was 69.88 ± 4.46; total SpO2 was 93.93 ± 1.90; PaO2/FiO2 ratio was 333 ± 21 and adjusted for barometric pressure was 256 ± 16; SpOFI/FiO2 was 447 ± 9 and adjusted for barometric pressure was 344 ± 7. The PaO2/FiO2 - SpOFI/FiO2 correlations were r = 0.631, p = 0.0001, and adjusted r = 0.629, p = 0.0001, concordance by intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.624 (substantial) and an adjusted of 0.543 (moderate). The coefficient of determination 39.8%, adjusted for barometric pressure 39.5%. Conclusions: At 2,240 meters above sea level, oxygenation variables indicate the presence of hypobaric hypoxia. The oxygenation indices correlate with moderate to substantial concordance.
