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

Purpose: Virtual dosimetry using voxel-based patient-specific phantoms and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations offer the advantage of having a gold standard against which absorbed doses may be benchmarked to establish the dosimetry accuracy. Furthermore, these reference values assist in investigating the accuracy of the absorbed dose methodologies from different software programs. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the accuracy of the absorbed doses computed using LundADose and OLINDA/EXM 1.0. Methods: The accuracy was based on Results: Overall, the results presented an overestimation of the mean absorbed dose by LND-D Conclusion: The better than 10% accuracy suggests that the mean dose values obtained with LND-D
