Methylation of Promoters of Apoptosis-Related Genes in Blood Lymphocytes of Workers Exposed to Occupational External Irradiation.
Article in Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We studied the effect of technogenic radiation on the degree of promoter methylation in genes involved in apoptosis in blood lymphocytes of workers exposed to long-term γ-radiation during their professional activities. Blood samples for the analysis were obtained from 11 conventionally healthy men aged from 54 to 71 years (mean 66 years), workers of the Siberian Group of Chemical Enterprises working experience from 27 to 40 years (mean 30 years); the external exposure dose was 175.88 mSv (158.20-207.81 mSv). In all examined subjects, the degree of methylation of the promoters of apoptosis-related genes ranged from 0.22 to 50.00%. A correlation was found between the degree of methylation of BCLAF1 promoters (p=0.035) with the age of workers, BAX promoters (p=0.0289) with high content of aberrant cells, and APAF1 promoters (p=0.0152) with increased number of dicentric chromosomes. A relationship was found between the dose of external irradiation and the degree of methylation of gene promoters of BAD (p=0.0388), BID (р=0.0426), and HRK (р=0.0101) genes.
