Computational model for detector timing effects in Compton-camera based prompt-gamma imaging for proton radiotherapy.
Article in Physics in medicine and biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
This paper describes a realistic simulation of a Compton-camera (CC) based prompt-gamma (PG) imaging system for proton range verification for a range of clinical dose rates, and its comparison to PG measured data with a pre-clinical CC. We used a Monte Carlo plus Detector Effects (MCDE) model to simulate the production of prompt gamma-rays (PG) and their energy depositions in the CC. With Monte Carlo, we simulated PG emission resulting from irradiation of a high density polyethylene phantom with a 150 MeV proton pencil beam at dose rates of 5.0 × 10
