1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The debate about the health risks from low doses of radiation is vigorous and often acrimonious since many years and does not appear to weaken. Being far from completeness, this review presents only a bird's eye view on current concepts and research in the field. It is organized and divided in two parts. The first is dedicated to molecular responses determined by radiation-induced DNA ruptures. It focuses its attention on molecular pathways that are activated by ATM and tries to describe the variegated functions and specific roles of Chk2 and p53 and other proteins in sensing, promoting and executing DNA repair. The second part is more concerned with the risk associated with exposure to low dose radiation and possible effects that the radiation-affected cell may undergo. These effects include induction of apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe, bystander effect and genomic instability, senescence and hormetic response. Current hypotheses and research on these issues are briefly discussed.
