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

Exposure to high-doses of ionizing radiation (IR) leads to development of a strong acute radiation syndrome (ARS) in mammals. ARS manifests after a latency period and it is important to develop fast prognostic biomarkers for its early detection and assessment. Analysis of chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes is the gold standard of biological dosimetry, but it fails after high doses of IR. Therefore, it is important to establish novel biomarkers of exposure that are fast and reliable also in the high dose range. Here, we investigated the applicability of miRNA levels in mouse serum. We found significantly increased levels of miR-375-3p following whole body exposure to 7 Gy of X-rays. In addition, we analyzed their levels in various organs of control mice and found them to be especially abundant in the pancreas and the intestine. Following a dose of 7 Gy, extensive cell death occurred in these tissues and this correlated negatively with the levels of miR-375-3p in the organs. We conclude that high expressing tissues of miR-375-3p may secrete this miRNA in serum following exposure to 7 Gy. Therefore, elevated miR-375-3p in serum may be a predictor of tissue damage induced by exposure to a high radiation dose.
