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

The effect of ionising irradiation up to 30 MGy on the mechanical and dielectric properties of different polymers for potential use in particle accelerators and detectors was compared in this study. The materials studied include the high-performance polymers PEEK, PPS and PEI; pure anhydride- and amine-based epoxy resin systems for coil impregnation and adhesive bonding; glass fibre epoxy composites; and FDM, SLA and SLS 3D-printed materials and polyurethanes. Gamma irradiation was applied in ambient air at an approximate dose rate of 2 kGy/h. Dose-dependent radiation damage was monitored by three-point bending tests, Shore A hardness, tensile stress-strain measurements and breakdown voltage tests in liquid nitrogen. Radiation hardness was rated according to two criteria: the dose at which the initial mechanical strength is halved and the dose at which the mechanical strength is reduced below a certain threshold value. The degradation of the breakdown voltage was preceded by the degradation of mechanical properties.
