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

Epidemiological studies of atomic-bomb survivors have revealed an increased risk of lymphoid neoplasm (i.e. acute lymphoblastic leukemia) associated with radiation exposure. In particular, children are more susceptible to radiation-induced precursor lymphoid neoplasm than adults. Although ~75% of human lymphoid tumors are B-cell neoplasms, the carcinogenic risk associated with each stage of differentiation of B-cells after radiation exposure is poorly understood. Therefore, we irradiated mice at infancy or in young adulthood to investigate the effect of age at exposure on the risk of developing B-cell neoplasms. Histopathology was used to confirm the presence of lymphoid neoplasms, and the population of B-cell neoplasms was classified into the precursor B-cell (pro-B and pre-B cell) type and mature B-cell type, according to immunophenotype. The data revealed that precursor B-cell neoplasms were induced soon after radiation exposure in infancy or young adulthood, resulting in a greater risk of developing the neoplasms. This was particularly the case for the pro-B cell type after young adult exposure. Our findings suggest that exposure to radiation at young age increases the risk of developing precursor B-cell neoplasms in humans.
