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

Ultra-high dose-rate (FLASH) irradiation can transiently deplete oxygen and modulate radical-mediated chemistry in irradiated cells. Cellular antioxidants also contribute to mitigating oxidative damage in a manner dependent on linear energy transfer (LET), as suggested by recent experimental studies. In this work, we employed our multi-track Monte Carlo simulation framework (IONLYS-IRT) to investigate how LET influences transient radiation-induced oxygen depletion (ROD) in a cell-like aqueous environment under FLASH irradiation conditions. FLASH exposures were modeled as single, instantaneous pulses of protons with energies from 300 MeV to 150 keV, corresponding to LET values of ~0.3 to 71 keV/μm. Our simulations revealed a marked decline in oxygen depletion with increasing LET, in agreement with experimental observations. For an intracellular O
