Video consultations in medication overuse headache. A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Brain and behavior, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo test the hypothesis that the effect of video consultations is noninferior to traditional consultations in managing patients with overuse headache (MOH). MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients were recruited from referrals to a neurological clinic. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), headache burden measured by headache impact test (HIT-6) and frequency of headache days <15 per month and visual analogue pain scale (VAS) at baseline, 3 months and 1 year were compared between groups consulted by video- (n = 51) and traditional consultations (n = 51) in a post hoc analysis.
resultsThe overall response rate was 74.5%. HIT-6 changed from 66.3 (SD = 4.7) to 60.0 (SD = 9.1) from baseline to 12 months in participants randomized to video consultations and from 65.8 (SD = 3.7) to 58.4 (SD = 8.3) in the group consulted traditionally (95% CI -2.3 to 6.5, p = 0.44). Frequency of headache days <15 per month at 1-year follow-up were 9 (23.1%) respectively 10 (27.0%), p = 0.60. In the video group, VAS improved by 2.3 points compared to 2.4 in the traditional group from baseline to 12 months (95% CI -1.2 to 1.2, p = 0.76). Analyses of repeated measurements comparing HIT-6 and VAS over two points of time in the two groups were insignificant.
conclusionThe effect of video consultations is noninferior to traditional consultations in managing MOH patients. Using video may be a good alternative in consulting patients with MOH.
