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

purposeRadiation-induced cardiotoxicity is a significant concern in thoracic oncology patients. However, the basis for this disease pathology is not well characterized. We developed a novel mouse model of radiation-induced cardiotoxicity to investigate pathophysiologic mechanisms and identify clinically targetable biomarkers of cardiac injury. EXPERIMENTAL

designSingle radiation doses of 20, 40, or 60 Gy were delivered to the cardiac apex of female C57BL/6 mice ages 9-11 weeks, with or without adjacent lung tissue, using conformal radiotherapy. Cardiac tissue was harvested up to 24 weeks post-radiotherapy for histologic analysis. Echocardiography and Technetium-99m sestamibi single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) at 8 and 16 weeks post-radiotherapy were implemented to evaluate myocardial function and perfusion. Mouse cardiac tissue and mouse and human plasma were harvested for biochemical studies.

resultsHistopathologically, radiotherapy resulted in perivascular fibrosis 8 and 24 (

conclusionsWe developed and characterized a pathophysiologically relevant mouse model of radiation-induced cardiotoxicity involving
