Nontoxic generalized patient shielding devices for total skin electron therapy.
Article in Physics and imaging in radiation oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
This study evaluates alternative shielding materials to lead for protecting the scalp and nails during total skin electron irradiation. We tested a silicone helmet, tungsten-doped silicone mittens, and planar aluminum and copper shields. The helmet and mittens were created using 3D modeling software and fused filament fabrication printing, while the planar shields were machined and assembled with printed hardware. Transmission measurements showed transmission rates of 4.5%-6.8% for the mittens, 5.8%-9.1% for the helmet, and 7.5% for the planar shields. The silicone-based devices improve comfort and usability, and slight design changes can enhance coverage and application.
