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

This study used AAPM Report 293 to estimate absorbed doses (EADs) from head and neck CT examinations in 100 patients (ages 18-90), leveraging its superior accuracy over Report 220. The study used data from a diagnostic CT scanner of model Canon Aquilion Lightning 16-row 32-slice, between years 2022 to 2024, with IndoseCT version 20b software to extract parameters, such as volumetric CT dose index (CTDI
