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

In this paper, we present findings of the analysis of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in a cohort of Russian nuclear workers who were chronically exposed to ionizing radiation at radiation dose rate of 0.005–0.050 Gy/year. Excess relative risks of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases, and ischemic stroke per unit total gamma-ray dose from external exposure accumulated at higher dose rates were found to be higher than the corresponding risks per unit total dose accumulated due to exposure at lower dose rates. Continuous radiation exposure at higher rates over a duration of 5 years was found to increase considerably the risk of mortality from diseases of the circulatory system, cerebrovascular diseases, and ischemic stroke.
