Applying the AAPM 293 report to estimate the absorbed dose during head computed tomography: using head circumference for rapid dose estimation.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) report 293 is more accurate than report 220 in evaluating the absorbed radiation dose during head computed tomography (CT) examination. We aimed to investigate the associations between age, head circumference (HC), the conversion factor ( Methods: In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, unenhanced CT images of the head were retrospectively collected from 1,222 participants from Union Hospital and Hubei Cancer Hospital between December 2018 and September 2019. Scan parameters, including age, HC, water-equivalent diameter (D Results: In the younger group, age and HC were significantly negatively correlated with SSDE Conclusions: The HC of patients was associated with head conversion. HC is a feasible indicator for rapidly estimating the radiation dose in head CT examinations based on the AAPM report 293.
