Relationship between the Young's Modulus and the Crystallinity of Cross-Linked Poly(ε-caprolactone) as an Immobilization Membrane for Cancer Radiotherapy.
Article in Global challenges (Hoboken, NJ), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world. In cancer radiotherapy, immobilization membranes composed of cross-linked poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are utilized for patient positioning. A higher-dimensional stability of the membrane is urgently required to facilitate more accurate radiation dose delivery. It is extremely important to establish the relationship between the degree of crystallinity and the Young's modulus (
