Radiation resistance in thermophiles: mechanisms and applications.
Review in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The study of prokaryotic life in high temperature environments viz., geothermal areas, hot, acidic geysers and undersea hydrothermal vents has revealed the existence of thermophiles (or hyperthermophiles). These microorganisms possess various stress adaptation mechanisms which enable them to bypass multiple physical and chemical barriers for survival. The discovery of radiation resistant thermophile Deinococcus geothermalis has given new insights into the field of radiation microbiology. The ability of radiation resistant thermophiles to deal with the lethal effects of ionizing radiations like DNA damage, oxidative bursts and protein damage has made them a model system for exobiology and interplanetary transmission of life. They might be an antiquity of historical transport process that brought microbial life on Earth. These radiation resistant thermophiles are resistant to desiccation as well and maintain their homeostasis by advance DNA repair mechanisms, reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification system and accumulation of compatible solutes. Moreover, engineered radioresistant thermophilic strains are the best candidate for bioremediation of radionuclide waste while the extremolytes produced by these organisms may have predicted therapeutic uses. So, the present article delineate a picture of radiation resistance thermophiles, their adaptive mechanisms to evade stress viz., radiation and desiccation, their present applications along with new horizons in near future.
