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

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) tooth dosimetry is being developed as a device to rapidly assess large populations that were potentially exposed to radiation during a major radiation accident or terrorist event. While most exposures are likely to be due to fallout and therefore involve low linear energy transfer (LET) radiation, there is also a potential for exposures to high LET radiation, for which the effect on teeth has been less well characterized by EPR. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to acquire fundamental response curves for high LET radiation in tooth dosimetry using L band EPR. For this purpose, we exposed human teeth to high energy carbon ions using the heavy ion medical accelerator in Chiba at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences. The primary findings were that EPR signals for carbon ion irradiation were about one-tenth the amplitude of the response to the same dose of 150 kVp X-rays.
