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

This study looks at two photonic crystals that are similar to Cantor's and are separated by a thin layer of sensitive, porous silicon made of poly(ethylene oxide) nanocomposite and potassium iodide, which is used as a gamma indicator. Modifications in the distinct peak versus the irradiation dose track how the proposed indicator responds to radiation. The results demonstrate that gamma radiation alters the refractive index of the poly(ethylene oxide) nanocomposite, causing the distinct peaks to shift. The impact of doping of nanocomposite with potassium iodide, the porosity of silicon, and the cell's number is analyzed. Doping the sensitive nanocomposite with potassium iodide showed a negative effect. The proposed indicator recorded a high sensitivity of 0.218 nm/Gy (nm/Gy = nanometer/gray) for low gamma doses up to 100 Gy, and a moderated sensitivity of 0.13 nm/Gy for high gamma dose from 100 to 200 Gy. The suggested indicator demonstrated high sensitivity in low gamma detection.
