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 detrimental effects of high-dose ionizing radiation on human health are well-known, but the influence of sex differences on the delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) remains unclear. Here, we conducted six-month animal experiments using escalating radiation doses (7-9 Gy) on male and female C57BL/6 mice. The results show that female mice exhibited greater resistance to radiation, showing increased survival at six months post-total body irradiation. LD50/30 (lethal dose expected to cause 50% lethality in 30 days) for female mice is 8.08 Gy, while for male mice it is 7.76 Gy. DEARE causes time- and sex-dependent dysregulation of microRNA expression, processing enzymes, and the HOTAIR regulatory pathway. Differential regulation of molecular patterns associated with growth, development, apoptosis, and cancer is also observed in male and female mice. These findings shed light on the molecular basis of age and sex differences in DEARE response and emphasize the importance of personalized medicine for mitigating radiation-induced injuries and diseases.
