Mortality and cancer incidence 1952-2017 in United Kingdom participants in the United Kingdom's atmospheric nuclear weapon tests and experimental programmes.

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
This study examines the mortality and cancer incidence experience among men who took part in the United Kingdom's atmospheric nuclear weapon tests between 1952-67. A cohort of 21 357 servicemen and male civilians from the UK who participated in the tests and a group of 22 312 controls were followed between 1952 and 2017. Analyses of mortality and cancer incidence were conducted. The overall mortality rate in the test participants was slightly higher relative risk (RR = 1.02, 90% CI 1.00-1.05,
