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 International Space Station provides an opportunity to study the impact of spaceflight on gene expression and possible links to human health. Our study investigates global changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) abundance in the THP-1 cell line, a monocyte-macrophage lineage known for plasticity and immune reprogramming features. We identified pathways positively enriched with genes affecting muscle and cardiac contraction, neuronal system, and sensory perception. Available computational models identified links with health issues, including cardiac, neurological, muscular, and renal disorders and alterations in senses. Specific mechanistic networks were identified: retinoid metabolism, cAMP (adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate)/CREB (cAMP response element-binding protein) signaling, and glutamatergic receptor signaling, which were associated with changes in vision, sleep, and movement, respectively. A considerable reduction is observed in E2F-regulated transcription of G
