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

The photoconductor layer is an important component of direct conversion flat panel X-ray imagers (FPXI); thus, it should be carefully selected to meet the requirements for the X-ray imaging detector, and its properties should be clearly understood to develop the most optimal detector design. Currently, amorphous selenium (a-Se) is the only photoconductor utilized in commercial direct conversion FPXIs for low-energy mammographic imaging, but it is not practically feasible for higher-energy diagnostic imaging. Amorphous lead oxide (a-PbO) photoconductor is considered as a replacement to a-Se in radiography, fluoroscopy, and tomosynthesis applications. In this work, we investigated the X-ray sensitivity of a-PbO, one of the most important parameters for X-ray photoconductors, and examined the underlying mechanisms responsible for charge generation and recombination. The X-ray sensitivity in terms of electron-hole pair creation energy,
