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

Solid-state detectors (SSDs) may be used along with a lead collimator for half-value layer (HVL) measurement using computed tomography (CT) with or without a tin filter. We aimed to compare HVL measurements obtained using three SSDs (AGMS-DM+ , X2 R/F sensor, and Black Piranha) with those obtained using the single-rotation technique with lead apertures (SRTLA). HVL measurements were performed using spiral CT at tube voltages of 70-140 kV without a tin filter and 100-140 kV (Sn 100-140 kV) with a tin filter in increments of 10 kV. For SRTLA, a 0.6-cc ionization chamber was suspended at the isocenter to measure the free-in-air kerma rate (
