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

backgroundPURPOSE: The BetaCheck-106™ is a prototype compact water phantom detector-applicator setup enabling high precision alignment of

methodsMeasurements were conducted on two

resultsThe BetaCheck-106™ demonstrated exceptional setup reproducibility (0.23%), enabling precise depth-resolved measurements. Both of the silicon diode detectors examined provided stable and reproducible measurements. The diamond detector performed reproducibly for the high-activity applicator but exhibited depth-dependent signal instability for the low-activity source, likely due to the detector's lower sensitivity. Normalized depth-signal curves for the three detectors all had similar shape. Analysis of measured current per activity of 20

conclusionsThe BetaCheck-106™ provides practical high-reproducibility positioning of detector and applicator for
