Emerging therapies for chronic migraine.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Not all chronic migraines are medication-overuse headaches and so the challenge is how to treat them. Currently available pharmacological therapies may be ineffective or they are abandoned because of intolerable side effects. There is still much room for novel therapeutic approaches in those with drug refractory migraine (RM). Occipital nerve stimulation (ONS) and botulinum toxin type A have finally gained a level of evidence based on the results of RCTs and pooled analysis, which by and large have shown at least a modest but valuable therapeutic effect. For a long time, these two approaches were only supported by clinical experience and open-label studies. Considering the disabling nature of migraine disorder, the large prevalence and serious impact on health-related quality of life and health care costs, any degree of response to treatment is acceptable and welcomed by the patient. An important issues for future studies would be better patient selection when finding candidates for each procedure.
