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

A mathematical model for radiation hormesis below 100 mSv has previously been reported, but the origins of the formula used in the previous report were not provided. In the present paper, we first considered a sequential reaction model with identical rate constants. We showed that the function of components produced in the second step of this model agreed well with the previously reported function. Furthermore, in a general sequential reaction model with different rate constants, it was mathematically proved that the function representing the component produced in the second step is always mountain-shaped: the graph has a peak with one inflection point on either side, and such a component may induce radiation hormesis.
