Evaluation of radiochromic formulations for dosimetry in high-energy photon and proton beams.
Article in Communications materials, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Radiochromic crystals have many suitable features for dosimetry across a broad range of radiotherapy modalities, yet the study of these materials within the medical physics community has been limited. Here, we study three types of radiochromic pentacosa-10,12-diynoic acid-based formulations: two analogues of commercially available materials and one newly developed. Formulations coated on polyethylene are irradiated with photon (6 and 10 MV) and proton (74 MeV) beams (0-25 Gy) using custom fibre-optic setups that enable real-time transmission measurements at 1.5-2 cm depth to maintain dosimetric accuracy. The dose response to ionizing radiation is compared between the formulations and all formulations were characterized using a variety of analytical methods. The response of radiochromic crystals to ionizing radiation is complex and influenced by factors such as monomer composition and resulting macroscopic crystal morphology. By optimizing these parameters, it could be possible to develop dosimeters suitable for a variety of clinical applications.
