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

There is an urgent need to find and develop radiation countermeasures for both planned and unplanned exposures. However, in recent years, radioprotective substances, such as rosmarinic acid (RA), have been described, presenting contradictory and even paradoxical results. In this paper, we evaluated the genoprotective capacity of 29 substances against chromosomal damage induced by gamma radiation in a comparative study using the same technique, i.e., cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay to evaluate their genoprotective capacities, at the same concentrations and administered before and after exposure to 2 Gy of gamma radiation. We then related the observed effects with their chemical characteristics to appreciate the different mechanisms of action that could explain some apparent contradictions that may emerge. In our study, before exposure to ionizing radiation, RA produced the greatest reduction in the frequency of radiation-induced micronuclei (
