Pharmacotherapy for Persistent Posttraumatic Headaches in Children and Adolescents: A Brief Review of the Literature.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04685772 (Assessment of the Efficacy of Medrol Dose Pack for Post-Concussive Headaches), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Concussion, now most often referred to as mild traumatic brain injury in recent literature, is common in pediatrics, and headache is often the most common complaint post-injury. Although most children and adolescents recover within 1-2 weeks, some develop frequent and debilitating headaches that can last for months or longer. Most clinicians would agree on the importance of managing both acute and persistent posttraumatic headaches appropriately to speed recovery, minimize disability, maximize function, and improve quality of life, but there are no well-established guidelines to instruct physicians in doing so. As this continues to be a developing field, there is much we still need to learn about concussion and the appropriate strategies to prevent and treat these injuries and their sequelae. This review is intended to help providers understand the current evidence, and sometimes the lack thereof, and ultimately to lead to improved care for children with headaches after mild traumatic brain injury.
