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

Childhood radiation is a risk factor for thyroid cancer that became well known after the Chernobyl nuclear plant accident. Although these human cases have been extensively studied, the mechanisms underlying childhood susceptibility to radiation-induced thyroid cancer have yet to be explained. Our previous study showed that neonatal X-irradiation resulted in long-term alterations in the mRNA expression of thyroid cancer-related marker genes, which may be a critical mechanism for understanding the higher radiation sensitivity in young patients. In this study, RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq)-based gene expression analysis was employed to identify thyroid genes whose mRNA expression was changed by neonatal irradiation. Male Wistar rats aged 1 week and 4 months were subjected to cervical X-irradiation at 4 Gy. After 8 weeks, total RNA was extracted from the thyroid and subjected to RNA-Seq analysis to identify differentially expressed genes following irradiation. We identified five upregulated genes (i.e.,
