Improved density estimation via pair production correction and experimental validation in neutron gamma logging.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study introduces an improved model for neutron-gamma density (NGD) measurements, specifically designed to reduce the impact of pair production on density estimations. Using the MCNPX simulation software, the model simulates the interaction of the NGD tool with geological formations, focusing on the energy distribution of neutrons and gamma rays, and the effect of mudcake thickness on gamma flux ratios. The study investigates how varying hydrogen weight fractions, particularly those below 10%, influence gamma and neutron flux. The new model effectively mitigates errors caused by pair production, offering more accurate density estimations, especially for formations with low hydrogen content. Experimental benchmarking with a Cf-252 source was conducted to validate the simulation results, providing a comparison with real-world data. While the model demonstrates improved performance for materials with hydrogen content less than 10%, further refinements may be needed for high hydrogen fraction scenarios.
