Impact of chronic low-dose external gamma- and internal tritium beta-irradiation on the gut microbiome in the context of intestinal tumorigenesis in
Article in mSystems, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 gut microbiome (GM) plays an essential role in health, and its dysbiosis can increase the risk of colon cancer. While the detrimental effects of high-dose ionizing radiation on GM have been documented, little is known about the effects of low doses, including from internal exposure to tritium, which is produced by nuclear power generation and emits beta radiation, making it a public concern. We examined the effects of chronic irradiation with internal tritium beta radiation or external IMPORTANCE: Low-dose ionizing radiation is one of the few environmental stressors that simultaneously reshapes host physiology and the structure-function landscape of resident microbiomes, yet mechanistic insight at ecologically relevant doses has been scarce. By integrating longitudinal 16S rRNA profiling, multiplex cytokine analyses, and quantitative tumor phenotyping in the
