ReviewIn vivo (Athens, Greece)
Review in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimClFdA is a second-generation antineoplastic agent that has demonstrated significant anticancer activity, particularly against acute lymphoblastic leukemia and has been shown to have radiosensitizing activity. The aim of the study was to explore the genotoxic, cytotoxic and radiosensitizing effects of clofarabine (ClFdA) on bone marrow cells (BMCs), normoblasts and leukocytes of mice in vivo. MATERIALS AND
methodsCytotoxicity was determined by the reduction in reticulocytes (RET), and genotoxicity was determined by the induction of micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET) in the peripheral blood and by DNA break induction in leukocytes determined by single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). The radiosensitizing capacity of ClFdA was determined in leukocytes and BMCs by SCGE.
resultsTwo mechanisms of MN-RET induction were identified according to the antecedents, that could be due to inhibition of DNA synthesis and demethylation of G-C regions, and subsequent chromosome fragility. ClFdA cytotoxicity causes two contiguous peaks, an early peak that seems to inhibit MN-RET induction and a second peak that seems to be caused by ribonucleotide reductase (RR) and/or DNA synthesis inhibitions. ClFdA induced early DNA damage in noncycling leukocytes, and also radiosensitizes leukocytes immediately after treatment. ClFdA-ionizing radiation (IR) causes two time-dependent episodes of DNA damage, the latest after 80 min triggers a major breakage of DNA. In terms of the number of damaged cells, leukocytes and BMCs are similarly sensitive to ionizing radiation; BMCs are slightly more sensitive than leukocytes to ClFdA, but BMCs are doubly sensitive to combined treatment.
conclusionClFdA causes early DNA damage and radiosensitivity in non-proliferating leukocytes, which rules out the most favored hypotheses of the participation of RR and DNA polymerase inhibition.
