1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Chronic daily headache accounts for a significant socioeconomic burden due to decreased productivity, work absenteeism, multiple office and ER visits, and hospital admissions for pain control. Associated comorbidities add to this cost. Current traditional medical therapies may fail to provide adequate relief leading to the search for and use of other therapeutic modalities such as innovative medical devices. It is in this setting of the urgent demand for better pain control and to assimilate chronic headache sufferers back into society that a variety of neuromodulatory approaches have been emerging. This review aims to familiarize the reader with current literature regarding supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve stimulation for chronic headache, point out the advantages of this approach, address unanswered questions about this subject, and highlight future directions.
