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

Absorbed dose and stopping power of the target material are two important parameters for determining the radiation effects. In this work, the relationship between these two parameters has been investigated for electron beams incident on skin and muscle tissue. Absorbed dose was obtained by using the EGSnrc code and the stopping power values were calculated by considering the velocity-depended effective charge and mean excitation values. To obtain the relationship between absorbed dose and stopping power values, these parameters were graphed together and simple fitting functions have been obtained. The results obtained show that these parameters are linearly correlated with each other.
