BioSentinel: Validating Sensitivity of Yeast Biosensors to Deep Space Relevant Radiation.
Article in Astrobiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
With the imminent human exploration of deep space, it is more important than ever to understand the biological risks of deep space radiation exposure. The BioSentinel mission will be the first biological payload to study the effects of radiation beyond low Earth orbit in 50 years. This study is the last in a collection of articles about the BioSentinel biological CubeSat mission, where budding yeast cells will be used to investigate the response of a biological organism to long-term, low-dose deep space radiation. In this study, we define the methodology for detecting the biological response to space-like radiation using simulated deep space radiation and a metabolic indicator dye reduction assay. We show that there is a dose-dependent decrease in yeast cell growth and metabolism in response to space-like radiation, and this effect is significantly more pronounced in a strain of yeast that is deficient in DNA damage repair (
