LET dependent response of GafChromic films investigated with MeV ion beams.
Article in Physics in medicine and biology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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 change in optical properties of GafChromic films depends not only on the absorbed dose, but also on the linear energy transfer (LET) of the ionizing radiation. The influence of LET on the film dose-response relationship is especially important when films are applied for dosimetry of energetic charged particles. In the present study, we examined the response of the unlaminated EBT3 and MD-V3 films to proton, deuterium and helium beams with energies in the range of several megaelectronvolts (MeV). Films were exposed to doses up to 200 Gy and a model based on the bimolecular chemical reaction was chosen to fit the measured film signals. The LET in the active layers of the films and the dose correction factors were computed with Monte Carlo software TRIM. Signal quenching, observed for all ion beams in comparison to x-rays, was investigated as a function of the LET in the range of 10-100 keV µm
