High spatial resolution dosimetry for radiation oncology with "MagicPlates," a new 976-pixel monolithic silicon detector.
Article in Journal of applied clinical medical physics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeWe introduce the next generation of "MagicPlate" 2D monolithic pixelated semiconductor detectors - MagicPlate-976 (MP976). It features a larger array area, higher spatial resolution, and does not require external triggering. We perform a comprehensive characterization for small-field steep-dose-gradient dosimetry applications in radiation therapy focusing on x-ray beams used in stereotactic treatments.
methodsThe MP976, developed by the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics, consists of 976 ion-implanted diodes on a thin n-type epitaxial silicon substrate with a total array area of 58 × 58 mm
resultsAfter the 10 kGy, the sensitivity declined by (74 ± 5)% for "large" diodes and by (78 ± 7)% for the "small" ones, the dose-per-pulse (DPP) dependence was in the range of commercially available diodes, however, a difference in the DPP dependence between the "large" and "small" diodes of (8.4 ± 0.2)% was found in the studied DPP range from 0.131-1.111 mGy/pulse. The minimum angular response was at 90° for 6 MV and 100° for 10 MV flattened beams (76% and 82%, respectively). The output factors and depth dose response showed agreement with the reference within 3.1% and 1%, respectively. Deviation in small field 80%/20% penumbra measurements was within 0.5 mm for 6 MV FF and 0.3 mm for 10 MV FFF. Full width at half maximum (FWHM) for the beam profiles agreed within 0.5 mm for both beam qualities.
conclusionThe new MagicPlate-976 detector system is shown to be suitable for dosimetry in small fields and steep dose gradients. It provides 1 mm spatial resolution in the central region and 2 mm on the periphery and has no dependence on the field size. The system's high spatial and temporal resolution opens new opportunities for trigger-less, film-less, and time-resolved verification and error identification for complex stereotactic treatment plans.
