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

This study evaluated the basic characteristics of a do-it-yourself dosimeter (DIYD) and its applicability in general radiography systems. An ionization chamber (IC), solid-state detector (SSD), and DIYD were placed 100 cm from the X-ray focus. Incident air kerma ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and the rate ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) were measured as functions of exposure time, tube current, tube voltage, and dosimeter angles to assess [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] linearity, exposure time accuracy, energy dependence, and angular dependence. The [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were 1.00–1.05 and 0.95–1.04. DIYD showed energy dependence peaking at 36 keV (ratio: 1.01–1.11). Exposure time by DIYD agreed with IC and SSD for ≥ 40 ms. DIYD showed superior angular dependence compared with SSD. DIYD showed characteristics comparable to IC and SSD, indicating its potential for periodic quality control and optimization of patient exposure in general radiography systems.
