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

backgroundPlastic scintillation detectors (PSD) are widely used for detecting and measuring ionizing radiation. These detectors are versatile, with high efficiency, fast response and the ability to provide real-time measurements. PURPOSE: Evaluate the suitability of Blue Physics PSD (BP-PSD) for performing ultra-fast dosimetric commissioning measurements with high accuracy and precision in a very short time.

methodsUltra-fast measurements were performed in water using a BP-PSD on an Elekta Unity MR-linac. Percentage depth doses (PDD) and profiles at different depths were measured at two movement velocities, 10 mm/s and 20 mm/s, for field sizes ranging from 10 × 10 cm

resultsAll PDD and profile gamma passing rates were 100% at 2%/2 mm. At the stricter 1%/1 mm criteria, all PDD showed a passing rate above 96.97% for both velocities, with most of the profiles exceeding 95% at 10 mm/s and 90% at 20 mm/s. Gamma analysis results were superior for smaller fields (1 × 1 cm

conclusionsUltra-fast measurements using the Blue Physics PSD are suitable for acquiring dosimetric commissioning data with high accuracy and precision, and can be performed in a much shorter timeframe than with commonly used detectors.
