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

In this paper, a new light event acquisition chain in a three-gamma liquid xenon prototype for medical nuclear imaging is presented. The prototype implements the Multi-Time-Over-Threshold (MTOT) method. This method surpasses the Single-Time-Over-Threshold (STOT) by precisely determining both the number of vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photons detected by each photomultiplier tube (PMT) and their arrival times for light signal measurement. Based on both the experimental and simulated results, the MTOT method achieved a 70% improvement in reconstructing photoelectrons (PEs) and enhanced the precision of the arrival time estimation by 20-30% compared with STOT. These results will enable an upgrade of the XEMIS2 (Xenon Medical Imaging System) camera, improving its performance as the imaged activity increases.
