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

Although radiation related research has been conducted extensively, the molecular toxicology and cellular mechanisms affected by proton radiation remain poorly understood. We recently reported that the high energy protons induce cell death through activation of apoptotic signaling genes; caspase 3 and 8 (Baluchamy et al. J Biol Chem 285:24769-24774, 2010). In this study, we investigated the effect of different doses of protons in in vivo mouse system, particularly, brain tissues. A significant dose-dependent induction of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation and reduction of antioxidants; glutathione and superoxide dismutase were observed in proton irradiated mouse brain as compared to control brain. Furthermore, histopathology studies on proton irradiated mouse brain showed significant tissue damage as compared to control brain. Together, our in vitro and in vivo results suggest that proton irradiation alters oxidant and antioxidant levels in the cells to cause proton mediated DNA/tissue damage followed by apoptotic cell death.
