The Impact of Exercise Training in a Hypobaric/Normobaric Hypoxic Environment on Cardiometabolic Health in Adults with Overweight or Obesity: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to comprehensively evaluate the effects of hypoxic training (HT) versus normoxic training (NT) on cardiometabolic health parameters in overweight or obese adults. Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. A meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18 and RevMan 5.4 software. Seventeen randomized controlled studies involving 517 participants were included. HT significantly improved cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Compared with NT, HT demonstrated a significant difference in CRF, but no significant differences were observed in SBP and DBP. The subgroup analysis of CRF revealed that HT significantly outperformed NT in six aspects: participants aged < 45 years (Hedges' g = 0.50), an intervention duration of 8 weeks (Hedges' g = 0.43), three sessions per week (Hedges' g = 0.40), each session lasting < 45 min (Hedges' g = 0.23), FiO
