Characterization of Gafchromic
Article in Precision radiation oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Objective: A newly developed Gafchromic Methods: In the beam energy dependence experiments, 6 MV and 15 MV photon beams, 6 MeV, 12 MeV and 20 MeV electron beams, 120 kVp and two 250 kVp x-ray beams (with different half-layer values) were selected, representing different clinical beam energies and radiation types. In the noise and SNR analyses, only the 6 MV photon beam was selected as the representative to compare between EBT4 and EBT3 models. Results: The energy dependence test results showed that there was a slight difference (<2% at most dose levels) in the dose response among the clinical MV photons and MeV electrons. However, a large deviation (>10%) in the dose response was found for the 120 kVp x-ray beam. For the two 250 kVp x-ray beams, the difference in the dose response was moderate (<5%), but not negligible. The noise and SNR results showed a reduced noise and strengthened SNR in EBT4. Conclusion: We conclude that the EBT4 film has a minimal energy dependence for MV photon and MeV electron beams but has a notable energy dependence for kilovoltage x-ray beams, and the vendor-stated features of the reduced noise and improved SNR in EBT4 are validated.
