Slow and fast locomotor muscle adaptations to sustained intermittent hypoxaemia.
Article in The journal of physiological sciences : JPS, 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
Episodic hypoxaemia is associated with muscle dysfunction in respiratory insufficiencies, but its effects depend on the hypoxia/reoxygenation pattern. Sustained Intermittent Hypoxemia (SIH) characterizes a large subgroup of COPD patients, yet muscle adaptations to SIH remain poorly known. We used a mouse model of SIH (FiO₂: 10%, 8 h/day) and analysed myofibre structure, muscle mass regulators, and myogenic markers in fast and slow-twitch hindlimb muscles. SIH induced an increase in haematocrit. At 35 days, Soleus cross-sectional area increased predominantly in slow-twitch fibres, but not in the fast Tibialis Anterior (TA) muscle. HIF1 target gene expression was increased at early timepoints with muscle-type-specific differences. While myostatin plasma levels were decreased, myostatin receptor and atrogene expression differed between muscles at baseline and upon SIH. Myod1 and Myog expression decreased over time in the TA only. In conclusion, SIH induces muscle-type-specific adaptations, promoting hypertrophy in slow-twitch muscle while impairing myogenic regulation in fast-twitch muscle.
