Radiofrequency Ablation for Treating Headache.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
purpose of reviewExamining the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in treating headache conditions. RECENT
findingsThe efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in treating headache conditions is not well studied. Chronic headache conditions can be difficult to treat with little consensus on management of headaches associated with pericranial neuralgias. In this retrospective study, we found that radiofrequency ablation is an effective and safe treatment for resistant headache conditions. This study is important as it describes a novel treatment for chronic headache which can benefit a large number of patients.
