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

Our goal is to develop lisinopril as a mitigator of delayed effects of acute radiation exposure in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases program for radiation countermeasures. Published studies demonstrated mitigation of delayed effects of acute radiation exposure by lisinopril in adult rats. However, juvenile or old rats beyond their reproductive lifespans have never been tested. Since no preclinical models of delayed effects of acute radiation exposure were available in these special populations, appropriate rat models were developed to test lisinopril after irradiation. Juvenile (42-d-old, prepubertal) female and male WAG/RijCmcr (Wistar) rats were given 13-Gy partial-body irradiation with only part of one hind limb shielded. Lethality from lung injury between 39-58 d and radiation nephropathy between 106-114 d were recorded. All irradiated-only juvenile rats were morbid from delayed effects of acute radiation exposure by 114 d, while lisinopril (24 mg m d) started 7 d after irradiation and continued improved survival to 88% (p = 0.0015, n ≥ 8/group). Old rats (>483-d-old, reproductively senescent) were irradiated with 13-Gy partial-body irradiation keeping part of one leg shielded and additionally shielding the head in some animals. Irradiated old females developed lethal nephropathy, and all became morbid by 170 d after irradiation, though no rats displayed lethal radiation pneumonitis. Similar results were observed for irradiated geriatric males, though 33% of rats remained alive at 180 d after irradiation. Lisinopril mitigated radiation nephropathy in old rats of both sexes. Finally, comparison of delayed effects of acute radiation exposure between irradiated juvenile, adult, and old rats showed younger rats were more sensitive to delayed effects of acute radiation exposure with earlier manifestation of injuries to some organs.
