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

Space radiation is characterized by high-linear energy transfer (LET) ionizing radiation. The relationships between the early biological effects of space radiation and the probability of cancer in humans are poorly understood. Bcl2 not only functions as a potent antiapoptotic molecule but also as an oncogenic protein that induces DNA replication stress. To test the role and mechanism of Bcl2 in high-LET space radiation-induced lung carcinogenesis, we created lung-targeting Bcl2 transgenic C57BL/6 mice using the CC10 promoter to drive Bcl2 expression selectively in lung tissues. Intriguingly, lung-targeting transgenic Bcl2 inhibits ribonucleotide reductase activity, reduces dNTP pool size and retards DNA replication fork progression in mouse bronchial epithelial cells. After exposure of mice to space radiation derived from 56iron, 28silicon or protons, the incidence of lung cancer was significantly higher in lung-targeting Bcl2 transgenic mice than in wild-type mice, indicating that Bcl2-induced DNA replication stress promotes lung carcinogenesis in response to space radiation. The findings provide some evidence for the relative effectiveness of space radiation and Bcl-2 at inducing lung cancer in mice.
