Postoperative Headache after Undergoing Acoustic Neuroma Surgery via the Retrosigmoid Approach.
Article in Neurologia medico-chirurgica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
To estimate the duration of postoperative headache after surgery for acoustic neuroma and the effects of age, sex, tumor size, extent of tumor resection, type of skin incision, surgical duration, hearing preservation, and postoperative facial nerve palsy. This retrospective review analyzed clinical data from 97 patients who had undergone surgery for unilateral acoustic neuroma via the retrosigmoid approach >1 year previously. We investigated whether patients had headache at hospital discharge and during attendance at outpatient clinics. We classified postoperative headache as grade 0 (no headache), 1 (tolerable headache without medication), or 2 (headache requiring medication). The period of headache was defined as the interval in days between surgery and achievement of grade 0. The period of medication for headache was defined as the interval in days between surgery and achievement of grade 0 or 1. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed median durations of medication and headache of 81 and 641 days, respectively. Headache was cured significantly earlier in patients who underwent surgery using a C-type skin incision (P < 0.001). Headache persisted significantly longer among patients who underwent a shorter surgical procedure (P < 0.02). Multivariate analysis confirmed the type of skin incision as a factor independently associated with duration of postoperative headache. Postoperative headache was cured in the majority of patients within about 2 years after surgery. The C-type skin incision is likely beneficial for reducing the duration of postoperative headache, although headache persisted in a small number of patients.
