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

Laser-driven protons with ultrafast temporal properties attract great interest in fields ranging from flash radiation oncology to compact accelerators. High-efficiency energy coupling of protons from laser-induced accelerating fields is complex, hybrid acceleration mechanisms that combine multiple field contributions prove critical for optimizing proton energy. Here, we report a laser proton acceleration scheme in which proton energy can be enhanced by a transition radiation field (TRF) built by high-energy and large-charged electron bunches. Using near-critical-density plasmas, we experimentally produce electron beams with charges up to ~30 nC (>13 MeV). As these electrons exit the target, they emit intense TRF with energy up to 0.6 J in 0.1-15 THz range, corresponding to an acceleration field of 10
