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

Treatment of postdural puncture headaches involves oral or intravenous (IV) fluid or caffeine-containing analgesics, micro-catheterization of spinal space, epidural administration of blood obtained from the patient, or epidural blood patch and fiberoptic imaging-guided epidural interventional techniques. Epidural blood patch is, to date, the most effective treatment, but it is an invasive procedure that may result in serious complications. Spinal anaesthesia was planned for a 22 year old male patient diagnosed with inguinal hernia and for a 42 year old female patient diagnosed with venous stasis. On the first post-operative day, the patients with a postdural puncture headache received conservative medical treatment. As medical treatment was ineffective, they received ultrasound-guided greater bilateral occipital nerve block. In this case report, the effect of the ultrasound-guided bilateral greater occipital nerve block on postdural puncture headache is discussed.
