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

Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy is operated in several countries because of its advantage to have high dose concentration and/or high linear energy transfer (LET). To estimate the beam performance of Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy, we target the 1% energy and 1 mm2 position resolutions of the beam monitoring system. The beam monitoring system consists of a scintillation crystal and fiber hodoscope. The scintillation crystal is 20 × 20 × 120mm3 and its candidates are LYSO, CsI and BGO. The fiber hodoscope is composed of 1 mm thickness scintillation fibers and the fibers are arranged vertically for 2D reconstruction. With GEANT4 simulation, we verify the performance of our beam monitoring system. The energy response of the LYSO and BGO scintillators is linear within ± 2%. The energy resolution of each crystal candidate achieves the goal; LYSO (0.061%), CsI (0.20%) and BGO (0.10%). The position is reconstructed via fiber hodoscope within 5% uncertainty.
