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

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) represents a severe complication of cranial radiotherapy, substantially diminishing patients' quality of life. Unlike conventional brain injuries, RIBI evokes a unique chronic neuroinflammatory response that notably aggravates neurodegenerative processes. Despite significant progress in understanding the molecular mechanisms related to neuroinflammation, the specific and precise mechanisms that regulate neuroinflammation in RIBI and its associated toxicological effects remain largely unclear. Additionally, targeted neuroprotective strategies for RIBI are currently lacking. In this study, we systematically characterized the pathophysiology of RIBI using zebrafish (larvae/adults) and murine models. We established direct associations between neuronal damage and cognitive-behavioral deficits. Mechanistically, we proposed a ROS-mitochondrial-immune axis. Specifically, radiation-induced ROS lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in the leakage of mitochondrial DNA into the cytosol. This, in turn, activated the cGAS-STING pathway, thereby driving persistent microglia-mediated neuroinflammation. Furthermore, we engineered a dual-function nanotherapeutic agent, Pep-Cu
