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

With the advent of novel scintillators featuring higher atomic numbers and enhanced radiation hardness, these materials exhibit potential applications under high-dose-rate irradiation. In this work, we systematically compared the photon output characteristics of ten mainstream or emerging inorganic scintillators under high-dose-rate irradiation with low-energy (0.1-1.7 MeV) electrons or protons. Initially, under electron irradiation among ~0.1 to ~50 rad/s, responses exhibited saturation trends to varying degrees, with their variations conforming to the saturation model proposed. However, under proton irradiation among ~5 rad/s to ~150 rad/s, responses exhibited sigmoidal trends due to competition between radiation-induced defects and luminescence centers. Through dynamic derivation of carriers and them, a triple-balance model that demonstrated close agreement with such variations was established. Subsequently, energy-dependent responses under proton irradiation exhibited marked nonlinearity, which were well fitted by Birks' law, confirming the validity of our measurements. In contrast, electron-induced responses remained nearly linear with increasing energy. Then, after high-dose-rate and prolonged irradiation, BGO revealed highest response degradation, while YAG(Ce) demonstrated most radiation-damage resistance. Moreover, Ce-doped scintillators displayed higher afterglow levels after prolonged irradiation, particularly for YAG(Ce). In summary, these experimental analyses can provide critical guidance for material selection and effective calibration of scintillator detectors operating under high-dose-rate radiation from charged particles.
