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

Magnetic hyperthermia treatments utilize the heat generated by magnetic nanoparticles stimulated by an alternating magnetic field. Therefore, analytical methods are required to precisely characterize the dissipated thermal energy and to evaluate potential amplifying or diminishing factors in order to ensure optimal treatment conditions. Here, we present a lock-in thermal imaging setup specifically designed to thermally measure magnetic nanoparticles and we investigate theoretically how the various experimental parameters may influence the measurement. We compare two detection methods and highlight how an affordable microbolometer can achieve identical sensitivity with respect to a thermal camera-based system by adapting the measurement time. Furthermore, a numerical model is used to demonstrate the optimal stimulation frequency, the degree of nanomaterial heating power, preferential sample holder dimensions and the extent of heat losses to the environment. Using this model, we also revisit some technical assumptions and experimental results that previous studies have stated and suggest an optimal experimental configuration.
