Do trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias represent primary diagnoses or points on a continuum?
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 question of whether the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias (TACs) represent primary diagnoses or points on a continuum has been debatable for a number of years. Patients with TACs may present with similar clinical characteristics, and occasionally, TACS respond to similar treatments. Prima facie, these disorders may seem to be intimately related. However, due to the current evidence, it would be challenging to accurately conclude whether they represent different primary headache diagnoses or the same primary headache disorder represented by different points on the same continuum. Ultimately, the TACs may utilize similar pathways and activate nociceptive responses that result in similar clinical phenotypes but "original and initiating" etiology may differ, and these disorders may not be points on the same continuum. This paper seeks to provide a brief comparison of TACs via diagnostic criteria, secondary causes, brief overview of pathophysiology, and the use of some key treatments and their mechanism of actions to illustrate the TAC similarities and differences.
