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 carbon nanotube (CNT) field emitter is suitable for the high frequency pulsing of X-ray. Pulsing reduces 49% of the dose in grid-controlled fluoroscopy and improves the image of moving objects. Various structures and manufacturing processes are being studied. However, more studies on the dynamic characteristic of a pulsing CNT and its application are needed. In this study, the combined dynamics including the field emission, MOSFET, and modified gate driver for MOSFET have been analyzed. In this configuration, between the cathode of the tube and ground, there is a MOSFET switch that turns the tube current on/off and a shunt resistor that measures the tube current. Due to the high impedance of the vacuum between the gate and cathode of the tube, about 85% of the gate voltage is still exerted between the Gate and cathode of the tube during the off-state of the MOSFET. Therefore, space charges are built during the off-state and then released at the beginning of the on-state of the MOSFET. The modified gate driver structure for MOSFET that we propose in this paper can limit the amount of current flow through the cathode. Tube current (boosted current) can be accurately controlled through a modified gate driver structure. Combining the boosted current and pulse control of MOSFET, the dynamic current performance of a CNT tube can be enhanced and the average tube current or dose can be accurately controlled. Experiments, simulation, and analysis have been conducted to study the combined dynamics and its applications.
