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

The radioadaptive response (RAR) is a phenomenon in which a low, or priming, dose of ionizing radiation enhances cellular resistance to subsequent higher doses. We investigated whether RAR involves alterations in homologous recombination (HR), a high-fidelity DNA repair pathway. Using fibroblast models, we found that primed cells exhibit accelerated DNA end resection, an initial and essential HR step. This effect is mostly mediated by a bystander mechanism involving small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), as conditioned media fully replicated it. RNA profiling of sEVs identified miR-126-3p and miR-451a as key regulators of this response. Significantly, inhibiting miR-451a induced RAR in normally unresponsive cells. We further identified a miR-451a-p38-CCAR2 axis that promotes HR through suppression of CCAR2. Our findings delineate a novel microRNA-mediated, sEV-driven mechanism that regulates HR during RAR, with potential therapeutic implications.
