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

purposeTo use Monte Carlo simulations to study the absorbed-dose energy dependence of GAFChromic EBT3 and EBT4 films for 5-200 MeV electron beams and 100 keV-15 MeV photon beams considering two film compositions: a previous EBT3 composition (Bekerat et al.) and the final composition of EBT3/current composition of EBT4 (Palmer et al.).

methodsA water phantom was simulated with films at 5-50 mm depth in 5 mm intervals. The water phantom was irradiated with flat, monoenergetic 5-200 MeV electron beams and 100 and 150 keV kilovoltage and 1-15 MeV megavoltage photon beams and the dose to the active layer of the films was scored. Simulations were rerun with the films defined as water to compare the absorbed-dose response of film to water,

resultsFor electrons, the Bekerat et al. composition had variations in
