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

Tension-type headache (TTH) is a common disease that is usually minimally impairing. However, more chronic TTH can be associated with significant disability and psychological comorbidity. Psychological assessment can help elucidate the biopsychosocial issues that complicate TTH and reveal the patient's coping styles. Psychological therapies, such as relaxation training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and biofeedback, may be helpful in reducing the frequency of TTHs and decrease the associated disability. Special populations, including pediatric patients, pregnant patients, and geriatric patients, may especially benefit from psychological interventions. Further work needs to be done in researching the effects of psychological treatments and making them available to a wider population.
