Light Readout of Small Scintillators Using SiPM Photosensors.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
During the last two decades, relevant progress has been achieved in silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) technology, such that in an increasing number of radiation detection applications they are proposed as a viable alternative to traditional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). Applications where the light from tiny scintillating crystals is detected by a single SiPM raise the question of the possible non-linearity of the response due to the saturation of the number of microcells involved. In other cases, where larger scintillators subtend arrays of SiPMs, the same question could hold. This work tries to disentangle such a question with a realistic numerical approach and a few tests showing that the possible saturation effects depend on the interplay between the features of the scintillator and of the SiPM (array). The quantitative results of this analysis can likely be used to better plan future radiation detection systems and to highlight their linearity boundaries.
