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

Male rhesus macaques were subjected to partial-body irradiation at 10, 11, or 12 Gy with 5% bone marrow protection. Animals were euthanized when dictated by prospectively determined clinical parameters or at approximately 180 d following irradiation. Histological sections of kidney were stained with hematoxylin and eosin as well as a battery of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains. Histopathological alterations were centered on glomerular changes and fibrosis of glomeruli and the interstitial compartment. These changes were first noted in animals necropsied approximately 100 d postirradiation and continued in animals necropsied through the observation period. Glomerular changes included congestion, thrombosis, erythrocyte degeneration, capillary tuft dilation, fibrin deposition, altered quantity and dispersion pattern of von Willebrand factor, increased mesangial matrix, and mesangial deposits of material that stained positively with periodic acid-Schiff staining. Areas of interstitial and glomerular fibrosis, as demonstrated by Masson's trichrome staining, were topographically associated with increased immunohistochemical staining for connective tissue growth factor, alpha smooth muscle actin, and collagen 1, but there was little staining for transforming growth factor beta. Fibrotic glomeruli had reduced microvascularity as demonstrated by reduced CD31 immunohistochemical staining. Vascular congestion was commonly noted in the region of the corticomedullary junction, and proteinaceous casts were commonly noted in cortical and medullary tubules. Longitudinal analysis of histopathological alterations provided evidence defining the latency, severity, and progression of delayed radiation-induced kidney injury.
