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
introductionReal-time dosimetry of surface doses in electron beams has not been widely established yet. Plastic scintillation detectors (PSDs) promise high spatial resolution and real-time dosimetry with minimum perturbation of the radiation field. This study characterizes a novel PSD in an electron beam to determine its suitability for in vivo dosimetry.
methodsDual-channel Cherenkov radiation correction and dosimetric characterization of the PSD were investigated using reference ionization chambers. Percentage depth-dose curves, lateral profiles, and output factors were compared with reference ionization chamber measurements. Surface doses were measured on solid water and on an anthropomorphic phantom and were compared to ionization chamber and radiochromic film measurements.
resultsThe investigated PSD demonstrated clinically acceptable linearity, dose rate independence, isotropy and reproducibility (total variation < 2%). Dosimetric deviations in R
conclusionThe PSD investigated in this study is suitable for clinically acceptable electron beam dosimetry and provides accurate dosimetric results for surface dose measurements. It has the potential to be used for real-time in vivo dosimetry.
