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

Some gastrointestinal bacteria, otherwise known as the 'intestinal flora', can cause severe gastrointestinal problems, including sepsis, which are strongly linked to lifestyle-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Several investigations have focused on the long-term changes in the intestinal flora associated with radiation exposure; however, the short-term effects remain unknown. In this study, we tracked the short-term changes in the intestinal flora of mice exposed to different doses of X-ray irradiation (2 Gy and 4 Gy), focusing only on the lactic acid bacteria Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. A decrease in the Lactobacillus abundance was detected immediately after irradiation in individuals exposed to both 2 Gy and 4 Gy irradiation. However, mice exposed to 4 Gy of irradiation showed a remarkable increase in Bifidobacterium, indicating a potential role of these bacteria in regeneration of the intestinal epithelial tissue. Studies on changes in intestinal bacteria as a result of radiation exposure are limited. Therefore, continuation of this field of research is expected to provide important fundamental insight into the mechanisms by which radiation causes damage to the intestinal tissues, contributing to the development of sepsis.
