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

backgroundBoron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a cancer treatment that leverages the nuclear reaction between boron-10 ( PURPOSE: This study aimed to develop a high-resolution real-time boron dosimetry system for BNCT by employing a cadmium telluride double-sided strip detector (CdTe-DSD). The CdTe-DSD enables precise mapping of

methodsThe imaging system was constructed by integrating a CdTe-DSD with a 2-mm diameter pinhole collimator. The CdTe-DSD, comprising a 2-mm-thick CdTe semiconductor, has a sensitive area of 32

resultsThe imaging system successfully detected the 478 keV

conclusionsThis study demonstrates that a CdTe-DSD-based gamma camera is a promising tool for real-time boron dosimetry in BNCT. The detector's high energy resolution and excellent spatial resolution enable precise detection of 478 keV prompt
