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 eye lens has been known a radiosensitive tissue. Radiation exposure can cause opacities, cataracts and vision loss. The sensitivity of the eyes to ionizing radiation has attracted attention in the last decade. ICRP announced that equivalent dose limit of eye lens has dropped in recent years. Therefore, spectacle lens selection is becoming increasingly important. In this study, the radiation protection properties of spectacle lens (CR-39, Polycarbonate and Trivex) materials were investigated using the MCNP-6.2 Monte Carlo code and SRIM software. The suitability of the results obtained with MCNP-6.2 Monte Carlo code was provided by comparing the theoretical results obtained from the WinXCOM program. The results showed that the CR-39 spectacle lens had minimum half-value layer, tenth value layer and mean free path values. In addition to the photon protection properties of spectacle lens materials, proton (H
