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

Accurate estimation of absorbed doses in organs/tissues is essential for effective internal dosimetry. This is especially the case for positron-emission tomography-utilized radiopharmaceuticals that contain positron-emitting radionuclides. To achieve this, it is essential to calculate S-coefficients (S), basic coefficients representing the absorbed dose in the target organ per unit of nuclear transformation in the source organ. In addition, as the evolution of computational phantoms from stylized, voxelized, to mesh-type models continues, updating the S-coefficients to correspond with the new phantom generation becomes required. We employed the DoseCalcs Monte Carlo platform to estimate S-coefficients for four positron-emitting radionuclides, namely, C-11, N-13, O-15, and F-18. Based on decay and energy data for emitted positrons that were obtained from ICRP Publication 107, the simulations involved 24 regions as internal radiation sources in the male and female mesh-type phantoms of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). We calculated the S-coefficients for 25 radiosensitive target regions. The graphs of S-coefficients for all target
