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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to examine the relationship between headaches and epilepsy as well as headaches and psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). Emphasis was placed on clinical characteristics, pathophysiology, and treatment. RECENT

findingsEpilepsy and headaches are common disorders that co-occur more often than would be expected by chance. There are some overlapping clinical features between migraine and epilepsy as well as evidence for shared underlying mechanisms. Proposed theories for a shared etiology include ion channel dysfunction, glutamatergic mechanisms, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Some, but not all, recent diagnostic classification systems have recognized the relationship between headaches and epilepsy. Ictal headaches are rare and should raise suspicion for PNES. Headaches in patients with epilepsy are undertreated despite evidence for efficacy of abortive headache medications. Comorbid headaches and epilepsy are relatively common in the population presenting to a neurologist. Patients who have headaches and epilepsy and/or PNES should receive appropriate treatment that often includes mutually beneficial preventative therapy and includes abortive headache treatment.
