Effect of intra-arterial injection of lidocaine and methyl-prednisolone into middle meningeal artery on intractable headaches.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional neurology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this 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.

Abstract
The present report describes the effect of intra-arterial injection of a dose of 40 mg lidocaine and 20 mg methylprednisolone into the middle meningeal artery of two patients suffering from severe headaches. The effect of injection of lidocaine and methylprednisolone was short lasting with effect manifesting within 5 min and lasting 5-8 h after injection. Both patients reported improvement in headache intensity after 24 h post-procedure. Intra-arterial injection of lidocaine and methylprednisolone may represent another treatment strategy for headaches not responsive to standard treatment.
