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

Reactions of radiation-produced secondary electrons (SEs) with biomacromolecules (e.g., DNA) are considered one of the primary causes of radiation-induced cell death. In this Review, we summarize the latest developments in the modeling of SE attachment-induced radiation damage. The initial attachment of electrons to genetic materials has traditionally been attributed to the temporary bound or resonance states. Recent studies have, however, indicated an alternative possibility with two steps. First, the dipole-bound states act as a doorway for electron capture. Subsequently, the electron gets transferred to the valence-bound state, in which the electron is localized on the nucleobase. The transfer from the dipole-bound to valence-bound state happens through a mixing of electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. In the presence of aqueous media, the water-bound states act as the doorway state, which is similar to that of the presolvated electron. Electron transfer from the initial doorway state to the nucleobase-bound state in the presence of bulk aqueous media happens on an ultrafast time scale, and it can account for the decrease in DNA strand breaks in aqueous environments. Analyses of the theoretically obtained results along with experimental data have also been discussed.
