Assessment of the consequences of hypothetical nuclear accidents in an advanced PWR, Egypt.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
The pressurised water reactor (PWR) situated on the northern coast of Egypt is one of the world's most advanced nuclear power plants. This study aims to accurately assess the consequences of potential radioactive releases during two hypothetical nuclear accidents, thereby safeguarding individuals and the environment. The Health Physics Simulation Software HotSpot 3.1.2 was employed to model this reactor's two hypothetical accident scenarios (AS1 and AS2). The study introduced and explored the immediate and delayed protective measures related to the effective doses at the pertinent distances concerning AS2. It has been found that increasing the effective release altitude was observed to negatively affect both TEDE and ground deposition, while elevated wind speeds proved to be successful in reducing radioactive harm. Consequently, it is recommended that urgent measures be implemented to safeguard the public from exposure to these pathways in the event of significant radiological incidents, even at considerable distances from the source.
