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

A mechanistic model of cellular survival following radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) was proposed in this study. DSBs were assumed as the initial lesions in the DNA of the cell nucleus induced by ionizing radiation. The non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway was considered as the domain pathway of DSB repair in mammalian cells. The model was proposed to predict the relationship between radiation-induced DSBs in nucleus and probability of cell survival, which was quantitatively described by two input parameters and six fitting parameters. One input parameter was the average number of primary particles which caused DSB, the other input parameter was the average number of DSBs yielded by each primary particle that caused DSB. The fitting parameters were used to describe the biological characteristics of the irradiated cells. By determining the fitting parameters of the model with experimental data, the model is able to estimate surviving fractions for the same type of cells exposed to particles with different physical parameters. The model further revealed the mechanism of cell death induced by the DSB effect. Relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of charged particles at different survival could be calculated with the model, which would provide reference for clinical treatment.
