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

It is widely believed that light is not emitted in water during irradiation of radiation at energies lower than the Cherenkov light threshold. Contrary to this consensus, we discovered that light (luminescence) is emitted in water during irradiation of radiation, and imaging of this luminescence was possible. In this review, the author describes the optical images obtained for various types of radiation, their characteristics and origins, and potential applications of the luminescence of water during irradiation at a lower energy than the Cherenkov light threshold. The author also describes the luminescence of other transparent materials and future prospects of the discovered luminescence.
