Direct Effects of Ionizing Radiation on Macromolecules.
Article in Journal of polymer science. Part B, Polymer physics, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
In the dry or frozen states, macromolecules are damaged directly by interactions with ionizing radiation. Since γ-rays and high-energy electrons randomly ionize orbital electrons in their path, larger molecules are more likely to suffer an interaction with these radiations. In each interaction, energy is transferred to the struck molecule, resulting in irreversibly broken covalent bonds. There is an extensive literature describing these radiation modifications in both synthetic and biopolymers. Although many different properties are measured, there emerges a similar picture of the nature of radiation damage that is common to all macromolecules. The techniques used in study of one species may be used to resolve questions raised in the other class of macromolecules.
