Utilization of Alanine Dosimetry for 10 MV Photon Beam Dose Evaluation.

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
Radiation therapy is a crucial treatment method that delivers a high dose of radiation to localized areas. Therefore, ensuring the accuracy of the radiation dose from the radiation generator is essential. Alanine dosimetry offers the advantage of being equivalent to water and tissue and is thus a valuable tool for estimating radiation doses in the human body. In this study, we aimed to assess the feasibility of utilizing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)/alanine dosimetry for quality control of medical linear accelerators (LINACs). The EPR signal and slope of the dose-response curve were compared with the number of alanine dosimeters per dose using a 10 MV linear accelerator, and the measurement uncertainty was evaluated. The signal increased by approximately 0.03 per 1 Gy per count, in conjunction with the slope of the dose-response curve. The measurement uncertainty, estimated based on the synthesis of eight numerical factors of the uncertainty propagation law, was approximately 2.49-4.19% (k = 1). The findings of this study suggest that the EPR/alanine dosimetry system can be reliably applied for quality control of 10 MV photon beams under the investigated experimental conditions.
