Figure 2.
Estimated α/β value and 95% confidence interval as function of experimental arm fraction size. Linear regression model with 95% confidence (dashed) and prediction (dotted) bounds are shown for the best fitting model with slope=0.57 Gy/Gy (SEE=0.19, p=0.017). The linear regression is weighted by the inverse variance of the individual α/β estimates from 9 included studies. The two experimental arms by Dearnaley et al from 2016 are included as individual studies and denoted by experimental arm dose rather than date of publication.
