Cognitive behavioral therapy enhances psychological and physiological outcomes in high-altitude respiratory patients.
Trial report in World journal of psychiatry, 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
backgroundDue to the dry and cold climate, the obvious temperature difference between day and night, and the low oxygen content of the air in the plateau area, people are prone to upper respiratory tract diseases, and often the condition is prolonged, and the patients are prone to anxiety and uneasiness, which may be related to the harshness of the plateau environment, somatic discomfort due to the lack of oxygen, anxiety about the disease, and other factors.
aimTo investigate the effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on anxiety, sleep disorders, and hypoxia tolerance in patients with high-altitude respiratory diseases.
methodsA total of 2337 patients with high-altitude-related respiratory diseases treated at our hospital between November 2023 and January 2024 were selected as the study subjects. The subjects' pre-high-altitude residential altitude was approximately 1700 meters. They were divided into two groups. Both groups were given symptomatic treatment, and the control group implemented conventional nursing intervention, while the research group simultaneously conducted CBT intervention; assessed the degree of health knowledge of the two groups, and applied the Hamilton Anxiety Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess the anxiety and sleep quality of the patients before and after the intervention, respectively. It also observed the length and efficiency of sleep, and detected the level of serum hypoxia inducible factor-1α, erythropoietin (EPO) and clinical intervention before and after intervention. EPO levels, and investigated satisfaction with the clinical intervention.
resultsThe rate of excellent health knowledge in the intervention group was 93.64%, which was higher than that in the control group (74.23%;
conclusionThe CBT intervention in the treatment of patients with high-altitude-related respiratory diseases helps improve patients' health knowledge, relieve anxiety, improve sleep quality and hypoxia tolerance, and improve nursing satisfaction.
