Dose Profile Modulation of Proton Minibeam for Clinical Application.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 feasibility of proton minibeam radiation therapy (pMBRT) using a multislit collimator (MSC) and a scattering device was evaluated for clinical use at a clinical proton therapy facility. We fabricated, through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, not only an MSC with a high peak-to-valley dose ratio (PVDR) at the entrance of the proton beam, to prevent radiation toxicity, but also a scattering device to modulate the PVDR in depth. The slit width and center-to-center distance of the diverging MSC were 2.5 mm and 5.0 mm at the large end, respectively, and its thickness and available field size were 100 mm and 76 × 77.5 mm
