Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome: updates and new perspectives.
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 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is an important cause of headaches that can lead to other neurological complications, including stroke, if not recognized early. Over the past few years, there has been great progress in the recognition of this entity. However, there is still much to be learned about its pathophysiology and optimal treatment strategies. RCVS occurs mostly in middle-aged adults, and there is a female preponderance with an increased incidence during the postpartum period. A consistent, predominating feature is a sudden-onset, severe headache that is frequently recurrent, usually over the span of a week. Less common presentations include seizures or focal neurological symptoms. Important causative factors include vasoactive medications, as well as illicit drugs like marijuana and cocaine. The current underlying pathophysiology is thought to be a disturbance in cerebrovascular tone leading to vasoconstriction. The diagnosis is based on history, physical examination, and cerebrovascular imaging findings that demonstrate multifocal, segmental areas of vasoconstriction in large- and medium-sized arteries. An important criterion for making the diagnosis is the eventual reversibility of symptoms and imaging findings.
