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

Low-temperature plasmas have quickly emerged as alternative and unconventional types of radiation that offer great promise for various clinical modalities. As with other types of radiation, the therapeutic efficacy and safety of low-temperature plasmas are ubiquitous concerns, and assessing their dose rates is crucial in clinical settings. Unfortunately, assessing the dose rates by standard dosimetric techniques has been challenging. To overcome this difficulty, we proposed a dose-rate assessment framework that combined the predictive modeling of plasma-induced damage in DNA by machine learning with existing radiation dose-DNA damage correlations. Our results indicated that low-temperature plasmas have a remarkably high dose rate that can be tuned by various process parameters. This attribute is beneficial for inducing radiobiological effects in a more controllable manner.
