Effect of lethal total body irradiation on bone marrow chimerism, acute graft-versus-host disease, and tumor engraftment in mouse models: impact of different radiation techniques using low- and high-energy X-rays.

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
purposeEffects of X‑ray energy levels used for myeloablative lethal total body irradiation (TBI) delivery prior to bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in preclinical mouse models were examined. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn mouse models, single-fraction myeloablative TBI at a lethal dose was delivered using two different X‑ray devices, either low (160 kV cabinet irradiator) or high energy (6 MV linear accelerator), before semi-allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) to ensure bone marrow (BM) chimerism, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and tumor engraftment. Recipient mice were clinically followed for 80 days after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Flow cytometry was performed to assess donor chimerism and tumor engraftment in recipient mice.
resultsBoth X‑ray irradiation techniques delivered a 10 Gy single fraction of TBI, presented a lethal effect, and could allow near-complete early donor chimerism on day 13. However, low-energy irradiation increased T cells' alloreactivity compared to high-energy irradiation, leading to clinical consequences for GVHD and tumor engraftment outcomes. The alloreactive effect differences might be attributed to the distinction in inflammatory status of irradiated recipients at donor cell infusion (D0). Delaying donor cell administration (D1 after lethal TBI) attenuated T cells' alloreactivity and clinical outcomes in GVHD mouse models.
conclusionDifferent X‑ray irradiation modalities condition T cell alloreactivity in experimental semi-allogeneic BMT. Low-energy X‑ray irradiator induces a post-TBI inflammatory burst and exacerbates alloreactive reactions. This technical and biological information should be considered in interpreting GVHD/ graft-versus-leukemia effect results in mice experimental models of BMT.
