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

By considering both cellular repair effects and indirect effects of radiation, we have generalized the traditional target model, and made it have a linear-quadratic-linear characteristic. To assess the repair capacity-dependent radiosensitivity and relative biological effectiveness (RBE), the generalized target model was used to fit the survival of human normal embryonic lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells in the G0 and G1 phases after various types of radiations. The fitting results indicate that the generalized target model works well in the dose ranges considered. The resulting calculations qualitatively show that the parameter ratio (a/V) in the model could represent the cellular repair capacity. In particular, the significant linear correlations between radiosensitivity/RBE and cellular repair capacity are observed for different slopes of the linear regression curves. These results show that the radiosensitivity and RBE depend on the cellular repair capacity and can be regulated by linear energy transfer. These analyses suggest that the ratio a/V in the generalized target model can also be used for radiation damage assessment in radiotherapy.
