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

Photons, such as X- or γ-rays, induce DNA damage (distributed throughout the nucleus) as a result of low-density energy deposition. In contrast, particle irradiation with high linear energy transfer (LET) deposits high-density energy along the particle track. High-LET heavy-ion irradiation generates a greater number and more complex critical chromosomal aberrations, such as dicentrics and translocations, compared with X-ray or γ irradiation. In addition, the formation of >1000 bp deletions, which is rarely observed after X-ray irradiation, has been identified following high-LET heavy-ion irradiation. Previously, these chromosomal aberrations have been thought to be the result of misrepair of complex DNA lesions, defined as DNA damage through DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and single-strand breaks as well as base damage within 1-2 helical turns (<3-4 nm). However, because the scale of complex DNA lesions is less than a few nanometers, the large-scale chromosomal aberrations at a micrometer level cannot be simply explained by complex DNA lesions. Recently, we have demonstrated the existence of clustered DSBs along the particle track through the use of super-resolution microscopy. Furthermore, we have visualized high-level and frequent formation of DSBs at the chromosomal boundary following high-LET heavy-ion irradiation. In this review, we summarize the latest findings regarding the hallmarks of DNA damage structure and the repair pathway following heavy-ion irradiation. Furthermore, we discuss the mechanism through which high-LET heavy-ion irradiation may induce dicentrics, translocations and large deletions.
