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

A fundamental understanding of the theory and measurement procedures for characterizing a solenoid is crucial for making a project cost-effective and achieving the desired performance for its use in a LINAC. This paper attempts to comprehend the beam dynamics of charged particles by considering the conservation of canonical angular momentum, which can take on positive, negative, and zero values. The analytical expression to generate a parallel beam using a solenoid is derived. The effect of the final beam size on the values of a solenoid's spherical aberration coefficient and the position of the minimum beam size with respect to the focal length is studied using electron trajectories. A practical procedure to tune the above two parameters of a solenoid is demonstrated by simply modifying the demountable disks connected at each end. A mathematical model is proposed to accurately determine the axis of a solenoid and the magnetic centre using the measured magnetic field data, which is validated experimentally. Several solenoids, used in the 9.5 MeV 10 kW electron LINAC suitable for sterilizing medical products and food irradiation, have been characterised using this procedure.
