A cell-based model approach to radiation-induced breast cancer development.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Epidemiological studies, e.g., on atomic bomb survivors, have shown that exposure to ionizing radiation increases the risk of developing breast cancer. Typically, these studies correlate intrinsic and extrinsic contributing factors with the observed cases of breast cancer in a defined population. In this study, we attempt to model these relationships at the cellular level. For this, a nine-stage model of the epithelial cells in the milk ducts is developed, considering transition probabilities between the stages. As a proof of principle, the transition probabilities between the stages of our model are fit for scenarios with and without exposure to ionizing radiation. Although this model simplifies the complex interactions of external and internal factors and diverse cell types, we believe that these methods can be used to understand carcinogenesis from a different perspective.
