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

The dose-response and spatial resolution of the peeled-off Gafchromic EBT2 films irradiated with different doses of 4 MeV alpha particles were characterized using transmission-and-reflection scanning modes of a flatbed scanner. The Edge Spread Function (ESF) was produced by positioning a razor blade with a sharp edge directly on the film's active layer to minimize the penumbra. Subsequently, 4 MeV alpha particles were incident normally on the setup, producing two distinct regions on the film. The irradiated peeled-off Gafchromic EBT2 films with 4 MeV alpha particles were digitized using a flatbed scanner in both transmission and reflection modes under identical conditions. In reflection mode, the red and green channel pixel values exhibited a more rapid decay compared to those in transmission mode. The edge spread function (ESF) data was fitted using an error function, and which is then differentiated to obtain the line spread function (LSF). In transmission mode, the Weber contrast increased significantly with dose, compared to the reflection mode. For the peeled-off Gafchromic EBT2 film, the spatial resolution in terms of full width at half maximum (FWHM) shows a slight dose independence on 4 MeV alpha particle doses for all color channels in transmission mode, but it is slightly correlated with the reflection mode. In both transmission and reflection scanning modes, the green channel exhibits the highest spatial resolution. The spatial frequency was determined at the half-maximum of the modulation transfer function (MTF-50), with the green channel yielding the highest spatial frequency in both modes.
