A dose voxel kernel method for rapid reconstruction of out-of-field neutron dose of patients in pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy.

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
Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport methods are used for dose calculation as 'gold standard.' However, the method is computationally time-consuming and thus impractical for normal tissue dose reconstructions for the large number of proton therapy patients required for epidemiologic investigations of late health effects. In the present study, we developed a new dose calculation method for the rapid reconstruction of out-of-field neutron dose to patients undergoing pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton therapy. The new dose calculation method is based on neutron dose voxel kernels (DVKs) generated by MC simulations of a proton pencil beam irradiating a water phantom (60 × 60 × 300 cm
