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

Neuron cells consist of the soma or cell body, axons, dendritic arbor with multiple branches, and dendritic spines which are the substrates for memory storage and synaptic transmission. Detriments in neuron morphology are suggested to play a key role in cognitive impairments following brain irradiation. Multiple molecular mechanisms are involved in the regulation and stability of neuron morphology, while the effects of radiation on these processes have not been studied extensively. In this report, we consider possible biological targets in neurons for energy deposition (ED) by charged particles that could lead to neuron morphology detriments, and the resulting dose and radiation quality dependence of such detriments. The track structures of heavy ions including high charge and energy (HZE) particles consists of core of high-ED events and a penumbra of sparse ED from δ-ray electrons produced in ionization of target molecules. We consider the role of track structure relative to possible targets causative in the degradation of morphology.
