Small Molecule Signatures of Mice Lacking T-cell p38 Alternate Activation, a Model for Immunosuppression Conditions, after Total-Body Irradiation.
Article in Radiation research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Several diagnostic biodosimetry tools have been in development that may aid in radiological/nuclear emergency responses. Of these, correlating changes in non-invasive biofluid small-molecule signatures to tissue damage from ionizing radiation exposure show promise for inclusion in predictive biodosimetry models. Integral to dose reconstruction has been determining how genotypic variation in the general population will affect model performance. Here, we used a mouse model that lacks the T-cell receptor specific alternative p38 pathway [p38αβY323F, double knock-in (DKI) mice] to determine how attenuated autoimmune and inflammatory responses may affect dose reconstruction. We exposed adult male DKI mice (8-10 weeks old) to 2 and 7 Gy in parallel with wild-type mice and assessed perturbations in urine (days 1, 3, 7) and serum (day 1) using a global metabolomics approach. A multidimensional scaling plot showed excellent separation of radiation-exposed groups in wild-type mice with slightly dampened responses in DKI mice. Validated metabolite panels were developed for urine [N6,N6,N6-trimethyllysine (TML), N1-acetylspermidine, spermidine, carnitine, acylcarnitine C21H35NO5, aminohippuric acid] and serum [phenylalanine, glutamine, propionylcarnitine, lysophosphatidylcholine (LysoPC 14:0), LysoPC (22:5)] to determine the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). For both urine and serum, excellent sensitivity and specificity (AUROC > 0.90) was observed for 0 Gy vs. 7 Gy groups irrespective of genotype using identical metabolite panels. Similarly, excellent to fair classification (AUROC > 0.75) was observed for ≤2 Gy vs. 7 Gy mice for both genotypes, however, model performance declined (AUROC < 0.75) between genotypes after irradiation. Overall, these results suggest immunosuppression should not compromise small molecule multiplex panels used in dose reconstruction for biodosimetry.
