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

Lead-free polymer composite shields are used in diagnostic radiology to protect patients from unnecessary radiation exposure. This study aimed to examine and introduce the radiation-shielding properties of single- and multi-metal nanoparticle (NP)-based composites containing Bi, W, and Sn using Geant4, MCNPX, and XCom for radiological applications. The mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic numbers of single- and multi-metal NP-loaded polymer composites were calculated using the Geant4 and MCNPX simulation codes for X-ray energies of 20-140 keV. The nano-sized fillers inside the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS:C
