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

backgroundThe FLASH biological effect in radiotherapy has been observed to appear at ultra-high dose rates UHDR ( PURPOSE: A new 4

methodsIn the ElectronFlash LINAC at the Institute Curie, two silicon carbide prototypes (a 2.2 mm diameter single diode and a 4

resultsA linearity better than 3.5% is observed up to 10 Gy per pulse of the single diode device only limited by the reference dosimetry. The pulse structure measured is consistent with the reference beam current transformer installed in the LINAC, allowing for instantaneous pulse discrimination at UHDR and its verification in the measurement point. Moreover, results demonstrate the viability of using SiC arrays to quantify the dose per pulse in a 70

conclusionsThe possibility of a position sensitive SiC dose monitor for UHDR is demonstrated, as the technology demonstrator has been proven to maintain good linearity up to at least 10 Gy per pulse, with a time resolution enough to observe microsecond pulses and position sensitive readout.
