Decompression endoscopic surgery for frontal secondary headache attributed to supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve entrapment: a comprehensive review.

The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In the last decade, a new surgical treatment modality was developed for frontal secondary headache, based on the assumption that the trigger of this pain entity is the entrapment of peripheral sensory nerves. The surgery entails a procedure, where an endoscopic approach is used to decompress the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve branches, which are entrapped by the periosteum in the region of the corrugator supercilii muscle. Candidates for the surgery define their headache as moderate to severe persistent daily pressure or tension, localized in the frontal area, sometimes accompanied by symptoms of nausea and photophobia mimicking a primary headache-migraine. We created a step-by-step screening algorithm which is used to differentiate patients that have the highest chance for a successful surgical decompression. Up to now, published data regarding this type of surgery demonstrate long-lasting successful outcomes while adverse effects are minor. This article reviews and discusses from a surgeon's perspective decompression surgery for secondary headache attributed to supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve entrapment.
