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

Ionizing radiation (IR) induces damage in the form of DNA strand breaks. As an apical initiator of the DNA damage response, Ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related (ATR) mitigates DNA damage, limiting therapeutic efficacy. Small molecule ATR inhibitors (ATRi) restrict this effect and sensitize cancer cells to radiation-induced damage. However, the impact of ATR inhibition in non-malignant tissues following IR is currently unknown. Here, we document the impact of ATRi on murine toxicity profiles following total body irradiation (TBI). Mice were stratified to receive single-dose ATRi (ceralasertib, elimusertib, or berzosertib), 6 Gy TBI, or the combination. Mice were euthanized 48 h post TBI. Blood and tissues were collected for analysis of complete blood counts and histopathology. To further distinguish toxicity profiles, IC
