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

Inferring characteristics of radiation exposure using biological molecules is extremely challenging. Current methods, in particular, lack a clear connection between dose and molecular response. Here, we demonstrate that resistive-pulse nanopore sensors enable single-molecule biodosimetry by quantifying the frequency of double-strand DNA scissions versus γ radiation dose. The resulting response curve shows an elongated Gaussian behavior, reminiscent of cell survival rates versus dose. We demonstrate that the competition of radical damage of DNA─i.e., single-strand lesions that lead to breakage─with bimolecular radical loss captures the form of the response. Our sensors and protocol provide a foundation for numerous technological advances. These include rapid dosimetry for triage in emergency situations and ex vivo monitoring of radiotherapy effectiveness in order to tailor treatment to patient- and tumor-specific response.
