Simulated Galactic Cosmic Radiation Exposure-Induced Mammary Tumorigenesis in
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundExposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) is a breast cancer risk factor for female astronauts on deep-space missions. However, the specific signaling mechanisms driving GCR-induced breast cancer have not yet been determined.
methodsThis study aimed to investigate the role of the estrogen-induced ERα-ERRα-SPP1 signaling axis in relation to mammary tumorigenesis in female
resultsIn GCRsim-exposed mice, we observed marked elevations in serum estradiol, increased ductal overgrowth, ERα activation, and upregulation of ERα target genes with pro-tumorigenic functions in mammary tissues that was coupled with a higher mammary tumorigenesis, relative to control. Additionally, the ERα target gene
conclusionsWe identified the ERα-ERRα-SPP1 signaling axis as a potential key mediator in GCR-induced breast cancer with conserved activation in human breast cancer. These findings suggest that targeting this pathway could serve as a potential target for therapeutic intervention to safeguard female astronauts during and after a prolonged outer space mission.
