Radium-223 dichloride causes transient changes in natural killer cell population and cytotoxic function.
Article in International journal of radiation biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
rationaleNatural killer (NK) cells play an important role in both the innate and adaptive arms of the immune system. While previous studies have demonstrated the effects of ionizing radiation on cytotoxic function of NK cells, little is known about how a chronic exposure to high LET alpha particles emitted by radionuclides will affect both NK population size and function. This study was conducted to determine the effects of
