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

purposeAim of the study was to investigate DNA damage induction and repair in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after internal ex vivo irradiation with short-lived radionuclides with varying emission properties.

methodsBlood samples from healthy volunteers were irradiated with different activity concentrations for 1 h, resulting in absorbed doses to the blood from nominally 3 to 100 mGy. DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in PBMCs were assessed by quantifying radiation-induced γ-H2AX+53BP1-positive foci (RIF). In part A of the study, four different radionuclides (

resultsThe number of RIF increases linearly with the absorbed dose to the blood, independent of the radionuclide used for irradiation. The decline in RIF after irradiation can be described by an exponential function, with a trend towards higher repair rates at higher absorbed doses to the blood, i.e. (0.20±0.12) h⁻

conclusionOur results show a clear relationship between absorbed dose and DSB foci induced by internal irradiation in blood cells, independent of the emission properties of the particular radionuclide used. A better understanding of DNA damage repair dynamics after internal irradiation can improve future nuclear medicine therapies.
