Characterisation of in-room leakage and scattered radiation for the Varian Halcyon linear accelerator.
Article in Physical and engineering sciences in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Unintended sources of secondary radiation resulting from photon beams in linear accelerators are patient scatter, collimator scatter, scatter from surfaces within the bunker, and head leakage. This work characterises the in-room leakage and scattered radiation for the Varian Halcyon linear accelerator. Scattered and leakage radiation for static gantry angles 0°, 45°, and 90° and largest field size 28 × 28 cm
