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

Experimental measurement of dose distributions is a pivotal step in the quality assurance of radiotherapy treatments, especially for those relying on high delivery accuracy such as hadron therapy. This study investigated the response of a polymer gel dosimeter to determine its suitability in performing geometric beam characterizations for hadron therapy under high-quenching conditions. Different extraction energies of proton and carbon ion beams were considered. Gel dose-response linearity and long-term stability were confirmed through optical measurements. Gel phantoms were irradiated with pencil beams and analyzed via magnetic resonance imaging. A multi-echo T
