Demonstration of LGADs and Cherenkov gamma detectors for prompt gamma timing proton therapy range verification.
Article in IEEE transactions on radiation and plasma medical sciences, 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 great potential for precision dose delivery with proton therapy remains to be fully exploited, largely due to uncertainties in range that require additional conservative treatment margins. Analysis of time distributions from prompt gamma-ray emissions offers a means to precisely verify the range in real time and shrink treatment margins, thus increasing effectiveness and reducing toxicity. We demonstrate a prototype prompt gamma timing system to detect proton range shifts, based on Low Gain Avalanche Detectors, used to time incoming protons, and Cherenkov detectors, to time the outgoing prompt gammas. With this system, we are able to detect range shifts induced in a PMMA phantom with about 1 mm precision consistently.
