Recent Approaches and Development of Acupuncture on Chronic Daily Headache.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07292506 (The Impact of Acupuncture on Biomarkers of Brain Injury and Inflammatory Response in Migraine), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
Chronic daily headache (CDH) is a very important part of primary headache disorder, and it causes heavy socioeconomic burden. An increasing number of people are suffering from CDH, and there are many treatment choices for the different subtypes of CDH. However, the definite effect of these treatments, especially the non-pharmacologic treatments, is still unclear and controversial. Acupuncture, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has an over 2500-year history in China as an effective non-pharmacologic method for chronic pain, but the researches on CDH are limited. Varying stimulations and the acupoints can be chosen for different acupuncturists, and there are many primary and secondary assessments of the therapeutic effect. Although acupuncture has been shown to have potential effects on CDH, it requires much deeper researches on the optimized usage and underlying mechanisms.
