Characterization or Monolithic Scintillation Detectors Etched with Laser Induced Optical Barriers.
Article in IEEE transactions on radiation and plasma medical sciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Several groups are actively investigating the performance of monolithic (continuous) scintillation detectors using a variety of crystal thicknesses, photo-sensor configurations, and surface treatments. This work explores the performance of thick LYSO crystals that would be applicable to a whole-body PET system. The crystals were etched with laser induced optical barriers (LIOBs) to alter the behavior of the light spread within the crystal in order to improve the performance of the detector. We studied the behavior of the LIOBs in response to optical light using small cubes of LYSO with a variety of laser etching parameters to characterize the impact of the optical barriers. We demonstrated that the opacity of the etchings can be altered by varying the parameters of the laser etching, which influences the depth-dependent light response and spatial resolution in the thick crystal. We successfully etched several crystals, as large as 50×50×25-mm
