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

In this work, we use the next sub-volume method (NSM) to investigate the possibility of using the compartment-based ("on-lattice") model to simulate water radiolysis. We, first, start with a brief description of the reaction-diffusion master equation (RDME) in a spatially discretized simulation volume ("mesh"), which is divided into sub-volumes (or "voxels"). We then discuss the choice of voxel size and merging technique of a given mesh, along with the evolution of the system using the hierarchical algorithm for the RDME ("hRDME"). Since the compartment-based model cannot describe high concentration species of early radiation-induced spurs, we propose a combination of the particle-based step-by-step ("SBS") Brownian dynamics model and the compartment-based model ("SBS-RDME model") for the simulation. We, finally, use the particle-based SBS Brownian dynamics model of Geant4-DNA as a reference to test the model implementation through several benchmarks. We find that the compartment-based model can efficiently simulate the system with a large number of species and for longer timescales, beyond the microsecond, with a reasonable computing time. Our aim in developing this model is to study the production and evolution of reactive oxygen species generated under irradiation with different dose rate conditions, such as in FLASH and conventional radiotherapy.
