Headaches of the elderly.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The prevalence of headache decreases in elderly age groups; however, headache remains a significant issue with unique diagnostic and therapeutic considerations in this population. While primary headache disorders such as migraine and tension-type headache still occur in the majority of cases, secondary headaches are more common with advancing age. Additionally, several rare primary headache disorders, such as hypnic headache and primary cough headache, occur more frequently in an elderly population and have distinct treatments. In this review, we provide an updated overview of the common, concerning, and unique headache disorders affecting the elderly.
