Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in postpartum headache.
Article in The neuroradiology journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThe objectives were to determine the frequency of abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with postpartum headache and related factors.
methodsA total of 102 patients with postpartum headache underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging study. The images were examined by a blinded radiologist. The related demographic, obstetric and headache-related factors were recorded. The multiple logistic regression model was used to determine the predictive factors.
resultsAbnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings were observed in 42 of 102 patients (41.2%, 95% confidence interval = 31.6 to 50.7%). The most common finding was sinusitis (10 of 42 patients, 23.8%, 95% confidence interval = 15.5 to 32%). Then, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (six of 42 cases, 14.2%, 95% confidence interval = 7.4 to 20.9%), cerebral venous thrombosis (four of 42 cases, 9.5%, 95% confidence interval = 3.8 to 15.1%), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (four of 42 cases, 9.5%, 95% confidence interval = 3.8 to 15.1%) were most prevalent findings. Convulsions (odds ratio of 3.39) and initiation of headache earlier than 5 days postpartum (odds ratio of 0.29) were significant predictive factors.
conclusionAbnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging findings were seen in a considerable number of patients with postpartum headache. When headache starts in the first 5 days postpartum and accompanied by convulsions, there are likely to be abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings.
