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

A radiation action model based on nanodosimetry is presented. It is motivated by the finding that the biological effects of various types of ionizing radiation lack a consistent relation with absorbed dose. It is postulated that the common fundamental cause of these effects is the production of elementary sublesions (DSB), which are created at a rate that is proportional to the probability to produce more than two ionisations within a volume of 10 base pairs of the DNA. The concepts of nanodosimetry allow for a quantitative characterization of this process in terms of the cumulative probability F
