Solid-state dosimeters have rendered ionization chambers obsolete for routine diagnostic X-ray quality control.

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
Today's diagnostic medical physicist finds a broad variety of instruments available to make the numerous quality control (QC) measurements needed for routine equipment evaluations. One of the distinguishing features of different options is the availability of multi-purpose solid-state detectors (SSD) and application-specific ion chambers (IC) that can be used for measurements of the various modality equipment types. Since these measurements are the "bread and butter" of diagnostic physics work and the foundation of quality and safety for patients, the choice will have profound implications for many aspects of the physicist's work. In this debate, we explore the roles of SSD and IC instruments through the insights and perspectives of two highly experienced and accomplished diagnostic medical physicists.
