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

Heavy-ion radiotherapy utilizing high linear energy transfer (high-LET) ionizing radiation (IR) is a promising cancer treatment modality owing to advantageous physical properties of energy deposition and associated toxicity over X-rays. Therapies utilizing high-LET radiation will benefit from a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning their increased biological efficacy. Towards this goal, we investigate here the biological consequences of well-defined clusters of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), a form of DNA damage, which on theoretical counts, has often been considered central to the enhanced toxicity of high-LET IR. We test clonal cell lines harboring in their genomes constructs with appropriately engineered I-SceI recognition sites that convert upon I-
