Radiation-Resistant Microbes: Pioneers for Life Beyond Earth.
Review in Current microbiology, 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
Radiation is one of the most pervasive environmental stressors that has profoundly influenced microbial evolution, driving the development of intricate survival strategies in extreme environments. This review examines the mechanisms underpinning microbial adaptation to various forms of radiation, including DNA repair systems, protective pigments, and antioxidant defenses. Emphasis is placed on the ecological niches occupied by radiation-resistant microbes, spanning from high-altitude deserts and deep subsurface ecosystems to space-exposed habitats. The insights gained not only enhance our understanding of microbial resilience but also hold significant implications for astrobiology and space exploration. By leveraging multi-omics approaches and experimental studies, research on radiation-resistant microbes has unveiled a broad range of potential applications in biotechnology, planetary protection, and the search for extraterrestrial life.
