Exploring the LET dependence of DNA DSB repair kinetics using the DR DNA database.
Article in Journal of radiation research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks is a crucial yet delicate process which is affected by a multitude of factors. In this study, our goal is to analyse the influence of the linear energy transfer (LET) on the DNA repair kinetics. By utilizing the database of repair of DNA and aggregating the results of 84 experiments, we conduct various model fits to evaluate and compare different hypothesis regarding the effect of LET on the rejoining of DNA ends. Despite the considerable research efforts dedicated to this topic over the past decades, our findings underscore the complexity of the relationship between LET and DNA repair kinetics. This study leverages big data analysis to capture overall trends that single experimental studies might miss, providing a valuable model for understanding how radiation quality impacts DNA damage and subsequent biological effects. Our results highlight the gaps in our current understanding, emphasizing the pressing need for further investigation into this phenomenon.
