Headaches More Common among Epilepsy Sufferers with Neurocysticercosis than Other Structural Brain Lesions.
Article in Hawai'i journal of medicine & public health : a journal of Asia Pacific Medicine & Public Health, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Neurocysticercosis is a leading cause of seizures and epilepsy in the developing world. Cysticercosis is endemic in many regions of Central and South America, sub-Saharan Africa, India, and Asia. Neurocysticercosis is of emerging importance because globalization has increased travel between Hawai'i and disease-endemic areas. Headache and epilepsy are two of the most common complications of neurocysticercosis infection. Currently, it is not known if epilepsy patients with neurocysticercosis are more likely to have headaches than those with other structural brain lesions or those with no structural brain abnormalities. This study was designed to investigate whether epilepsy patients with neurocysticercosis report co-morbid headaches more frequently than those with other or with no structural brain lesions. A retrospective cross-sectional study of all patients treated at a community based neurology clinic for epilepsy during a three-month period was performed. One-hundred sixty patients were included in the analytical study. Co-morbid headaches were more commonly present among those with neurocysticercosis (40%) than those with other structural lesions and those with no structural brain abnormalities (19% and 22%, respectively;
