Headache in the elderly: primary forms.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2010. 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
In elderly patients, the differential diagnosis of primary headache complicated by clinical characteristics may suggest symptomatic headache. In addition, the frequent presence of chronic comorbidity illness and excessive analgesic use may aggravate a pre-existing headache or give rise to new headache to complicate headache management in elderly patients. This study reviews epidemiologic data, clinical characteristics and treatment options for primary headaches in elderly people.
