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

Intrafractional motion and deformation influence proton therapy delivery for tumours in the thorax, abdomen and pelvis. This study aimed to test the dose-response of a compressively strained three-dimensional silicone-based radiochromic dosimeter during proton beam delivery. The dosimeter was read-out in its relaxed state using optical computed tomography and calibrated for the linear energy transfer, based on Monte Carlo simulations. A three-dimensional gamma analysis showed a 99.3% pass rate for 3%/3 mm and 93.9% for 2%/2 mm, for five superimposed measurements using deformation-including Monte Carlo dose calculations as reference. We conclude that the dosimeter's dose-response is unaffected by deformations.
