Cervicogenic headache: interventional, anesthetic, and ablative treatment.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cervicogenic headache is becoming an accepted clinical syndrome in which headache pain is thought to originate from the cervical spine. Unfortunately, there are no diagnostic imaging techniques of the cervical spine and associated structures that can determine the exact source of pain. Therefore, diagnosis and treatment are based on the major accepted criteria of clinical presentation and the use of diagnostic nerve blocks to identify the source of the pain generator before considering further interventional or neuroablative treatment. This suggests that consistent reproducible anatomic and neurophysiologic pathways exist for the reproduction of typical clinical pain patterns and the ability of neuroblockade to consistently interrupt these pain pathways. This article describes the essential anatomy required to understand the use of diagnostic nerve blocks, and their predictive value in anticipating response to neuroablative and interventional therapy with a review of the major interventional, anesthetic, and ablative techniques for cervicogenic headache.
