Central and Peripheral Neural Targets for Neurostimulation of Chronic Headaches.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purpose of reviewChronic headache sufferers are estimated to be around 3% of the population. These patients have a high disease burden. When prophylactic treatments have low efficacy and tolerability, patients are in need of alternative therapeutic strategies and options. RECENT
findingsIn the last decade, a number of neuromodulation procedures have been introduced as treatment of chronic intractable headache patients when pharmacological treatments fail or are not well tolerated. Neurostimulation of peripheral and central nervous system has been carried out, and now, various non-invasive and invasive stimulation devices are available. Non-invasive neurostimulation options include vagus nerve stimulation, supraorbital stimulation and single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation; invasive procedures include occipital nerve stimulation, sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation and hypothalamic deep brain stimulation. In many cases, results supporting their use derive from open-label series and small controlled trial studies. Lack of adequate placebo hampers adequate randomized controlled trials. In this paper, we give an overview on the main neurostimulation procedures in terms of results and putative mechanism of cation.
