Human
Human participants studied for respiratory health. See eligibility criteria in the linked full text.
Full text reports another explicitly administered H₂ intervention. Detected intervention quantities or schedules: 30 days, 73%, 27%, 6 min, 30 min. · H₂-related quantities reported in the intervention passages: 30 days, 73%, 27%, 6 min, 30 min. Values are not combined across different experimental arms.
30 days
Article-reported result excerpt (24 words maximum): “260 (232.75–314.5); p = 0.043] ([Table 3], [Figure 2]), respectively, while other blood tests, inflammation markers, and oxidative stress markers did not show significant…” This excerpt is not a complete result summary; consult the linked full text for all positive and null findings.
Human evidence; design, sample size and comparator limit interpretation. No funding statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred. The article declares no conflicts of interest.

Information not yet classified
Some editorial classification fields are still pending. The source-reported outcomes and result are shown below; Hydrogenology does not infer a positive or negative signal from prose automatically.
Methods
Human participants studied for respiratory health. See eligibility criteria in the linked full text.
Human study; the article does not state one consolidated sample total, so no total is inferred.

another explicitly administered H₂ intervention — H₂ only unless the full text explicitly reports oxygen co-delivery.
H₂-related quantities reported in the intervention passages: 30 days, 73%, 27%, 6 min, 30 min. Values are not combined across different experimental arms.
Control or comparison condition reported in the full article; see the linked methods for arm-specific details.
Outcomes and reported result
survival or mortality, clinical symptoms or functional scores, tumor growth or cancer markers, inflammation and cytokines, oxidative-stress and antioxidant markers, apoptosis or cell injury
Article-reported result excerpt (24 words maximum): “260 (232.75–314.5); p = 0.043] ([Table 3], [Figure 2]), respectively, while other blood tests, inflammation markers, and oxidative stress markers did not show significant…” This excerpt is not a complete result summary; consult the linked full text for all positive and null findings.
The complete machine-readable article was checked for source identity, methods, intervention quantities, results, tables, funding and conflict declarations. This public record is based on the full article.
A reported association, difference or mechanism is not automatically a clinical benefit.
Limitations and applicability
Human evidence; design, sample size and comparator limit interpretation. No funding statement was identified in the machine-readable full article; absence is not inferred. The article declares no conflicts of interest.
Applies only to the population and protocol reported in this respiratory health article.
