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

Background: Gamma-H2AX immunofluorescence assay has gained popularity as a DNA double strand break marker. In this work, we have investigated the potential use of gamma H2AX immunofluorescence assay as a biological dosimeter for estimation of dose in our institution. Materials and methods: Seven healthy individuals were selected for the study and the blood samples collected from the first five individuals were irradiated to low doses (0-10 cGy) and high doses (50-500 cGy) in a telecobalt unit. All the samples were processed for gamma-H2AX immunofluorescence assay and the dose-response calibration curves for low and high doses were determined. In order to validate the determined dose-response calibration curves, the blood samples obtained from the sixth and seventh subjects were delivered a test dose of 7.5 cGy and 250 cGy. In addition, time and cost required to complete the assay were also reported. Results: The goodness of fit (R Conclusion: Based on this study we conclude that the individual dose-response calibration curves determined with gamma-H2AX immunofluorescence assay for both low and high dose ranges of gamma radiation can be used for biological dosimetry. Further, the gamma-H2AX immunofluorescence assay can be used as a rapid cost-effective biodosimetric tool for institutions with an existing confocal microscope facility.
