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

Cranial radiotherapy is associated with neuroinflammation, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. Tau pathology plays a key role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) but has not been studied in the context of radiation injury. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) is a novel neuroinflammatory mediator that activates neuronal IL6Rα/p25/Cdk5, leading to tau hyperphosphorylation. We hypothesized that radiation promotes pathological tau phosphorylation via the eCIRP/IL6Rα/p25/Cdk5 pathway, which can be mitigated by the eCIRP inhibitor C23. Adult C57BL/6 and CIRP
