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 increasing use of radiation presents a risk of radiation exposure, making the development of radioprotectors necessary. In the previous study, it is investigated that Deinococcus radiodurans (R1-EVs) exert the antioxidative properties. However, the radioprotective activity of R1-EVs remains unclear. In the present study, the protective effects of R1-EVs against total body irradiation (TBI)-induced acute radiation syndrome (ARS) are investigated. To assess R1-EVs' radioprotective efficacy, ARS is induced in mice with 8 Gy of TBI, and protection against hematopoietic (H)- and gastrointestinal (GI)-ARS is evaluated. The survival rate of irradiated mice group decreases substantially after irradiation. In contrast, pretreatment with R1-EVs increases the survival rates of the mice. The administration of R1-EVs provides effective protection against radiation-induced death of bone marrow cells and splenocytes by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, R1-EVs protect both intestinal stem and epithelial cells from radiation-induced apoptosis. R1-EVs stimulate the production of short-chain fatty acids in the gastrointestinal tract, suppress proinflammatory cytokines, and increase regulatory T cells in pretreated mice versus the irradiation-only group. Proteomic analysis shows that the R1-EV proteome is significantly enriched with proteins involved in oxidative stress response. These findings highlight R1-EVs as potent radioprotectors with applications against radiation damage and ROS-mediated diseases.
