New-generation Indian Linear Accelerator: Validation of Specifications and Comparative Analysis.
Article in Journal of medical physics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) plays a crucial role in cancer treatment, with two-thirds of patients receiving external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT). In India, the growing cancer burden necessitates a significant expansion of RT infrastructure. The current estimates indicate a severe shortfall, with only 0.6 RT machines per million people, far below international recommendations. To bridge this gap, India has focused on developing indigenous linear accelerators under the "Make in India" initiative. In the recent past, a low energy model linear accelerator is designed and manufactured in India and are being installed in different oncology centers. The performance specifications are reviewed and compared with well tested imported model to assess the efficacy in terms of radiation delivery parameters. Materials and Methods: A low-energy linear accelerator (6 MV), magnetron radiofrequency-powered model, Siddharth II Results: The performance evaluation of five linear accelerators installed over the past 2 years, along with measured radiation data, confirms that the 6 MV linac has an adequate design, delivering radiation beams comparable to well-tested imported models widely used in India. Additionally, all radiation safety parameters of the Siddharth II Conclusion: The results demonstrate that the Siddharth II
