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

The development of safe, orally available, and effective prophylactic countermeasures to protect our warfighters is an unmet need because there is no such FDA-approved countermeasure available for use. Th 1-Propanethiol, 3-(methylamino)-2-((methylamino)methyl) (PrC-210), a synthetic small molecule, is a member of a new family of aminothiols designed to reduce toxicity while scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our study investigated the protective role of a single oral administration of PrC-210 against radiation-induced hematopoietic and intestinal injury in mice. Pre-treatment with PrC-210 significantly improved the survival of mice exposed to a lethal dose of radiation. Our findings indicated that the radioprotective properties of PrC-210 are achieved by accelerating the recovery of the hematopoietic system, stimulating bone marrow progenitor cells, and ameliorating additional biomarkers of hematopoietic injury. PrC-210 pre-treatment reduced intestinal injury in mice exposed to a lethal dose of radiation by restoring jejunal crypts and villi, reducing translocation of bacteria to the spleen, maintaining citrulline levels, and reducing the sepsis marker serum amyloid A (SAA) in serum. Finally, PrC-210 pre-treatment led to a significant reduction (~10 fold) of Nos2 expression (inducible nitric oxide) in the spleen and decreased oxidative stress by enhancing the antioxidant defense system. These data support the further development of PrC-210 to receive approval from the FDA to protect warfighters and first responders from exposure to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.
