Activity-dependent transit dose assessment in
Article in Precision radiation oncology, 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
Purpose: To characterize the newly released GafChromic Methods: EBT4 film was used to measure dose at 3 mm depth from a horizontally oriented Leipzig-style surface applicator connected to a Results: EBT4 film demonstrated excellent dose-response linearity with nominal dwell time (adjusted R Conclusions: This study validates EBT4 film as a reliable tool for transit dose measurement in surface brachytherapy. The observed non-linear relationship between transit dose and source activity reveals the critical influence of experimental setup variables, particularly source guide tube geometry, which affects the source-to-target distance during transit. These findings demonstrate that transit dose is impacted by multiple interdependent factors including source activity, guide tube configuration, and setup geometry. For clinical applications, this highlights the importance of standardized setup protocols and empirical measurement for accurate transit dose assessment.
