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

The objective of this work was to study the number of different T-helper subpopulations in peripheral blood as well as the expression of TBX21, RORC, GATA3, NFKB1, MAPK8, and STAT3 genes, responsible for the regulation of T-helper differentiation in persons chronically exposed in utero. The object of the study was peripheral blood cells obtained from 156 people chronically exposed in utero and postnatally in a wide range of doses on the Techa River. The mean cumulative absorbed dose to the red bone marrow in the examined exposed individuals was 496 ± 51.2 mGy (dose range, 73.5-1298 mGy), in the comparison group 1 it was 18.7 ± 1.97 mGy (dose range, 0.78-57 mGy), and in comparison group 2 (exposed only postnatally) it was 571 ± 49.1 mGy (dose range, 86.74-1240 mGy). The subpopulation composition of T-helper cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. The relative mRNA content of TBX21, RORC, GATA3, NFKB1, MAPK8, and STAT3 genes was assessed by RT-PCR. A dose-dependent decrease in the total number of T-helper cells, effector memory T-helper cells, and central memory T-helper cells at a trend level and an increase in the relative number of naive T-helper cells in the peripheral blood of individuals exposed in utero and postnatally were found. An increase in the relative number of type 1 T-helper cells was also revealed in those exposed in utero and postnatally relative to the group of persons exposed only postnatally. These changes did not depend on the cumulative radiation doses. There were no statistically significant changes in the mRNA expression of the studied genes (GATA3, STAT3, TBX21, MAPK8, and RORc). No correlation between the mRNA expression of the studied genes and the relative number of cells in the subpopulations of T-helper types 1, 2, and 17 in the examined individuals was revealed.
