Impact of Radiation Therapy on Serum Humanin and MOTS-c Levels in Patients with Lung or Breast Cancer.
Observational study in Current radiopharmaceuticals, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundLung and breast cancer are the most frequent causes of death from cancer globally. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the serum mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S rRNA-c (MOTS-c) and humanin levels in lung or breast cancer patients, and investigate the impacts of radiation therapy on the circulating levels of these peptides.
methods35 lung cancer patients, 34 breast cancer patients, and healthy volunteers as a control group were recruited in this prospective observatory research. Lung cancer patients with stage IIIA/IIIB were treated with paclitaxel-based chemotherapy plus radiotherapy (2 Gy per day, 30 times, 60 Gy total dose). Breast cancer stage IIA/IIB patients were treated with postoperative locoregional radiation therapy (2 Gy per day, 25 times, 50 Gy total dose). The ELISA method was used to detect serum humanin and MOTS-c levels during, before, and after radiotherapy.
resultsWe observed marked elevations in circulating MOTS-c, but not humanin levels in patients with lung cancer (P < 0.001). Radiation therapy led to a marked augmentation in MOTS-c levels in these patients (P < 0.001). On the other hand, there was a marked decline in humanin, but not MOTS-c, levels in breast cancer patients (P < 0.001).
conclusionOur research has shown, for the first time, that increased MOTS-c and decreased humanin levels play a role in lung cancer and breast cancer, respectively. Additionally, radiotherapy modifies MOTS-c levels in patients with lung, but not breast cancer.
