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

There is a growing interest in low dose radiation (LDR) to counteract neurodegeneration. However, LDR effects on normal brain have not been completely explored yet. Recent analyses showed that LDR exposure to normal brain tissue causes expression level changes of different proteins including neurodegeneration-associated proteins. We assessed the proteomic changes occurring in radiated vs. sham normal swine brains. Due to its involvement in various neurodegenerative processes, including those associated with cognitive changes after high dose radiation exposure, we focused on the hippocampus first. We observed significant proteomic changes in the hippocampus of radiated vs. sham swine after LDR (1.79Gy). Mass spectrometry results showed 190 up-regulated and 120 down-regulated proteins after LDR. Western blotting analyses confirmed increased levels of TPM1, TPM4, PCP4 and NPY (all proteins decreased in various neurodegenerative processes, with NPY and PCP4 known to be neuroprotective) in radiated vs. sham swine. These data support the use of LDR as a potential beneficial tool to interfere with neurodegenerative processes and perhaps other brain-related disorders, including behavioral disorders.
