Radiofrequency Ablation for Treating Headache: a Follow-up Study.
Article in Current pain and headache reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 reviewTo identify the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation of pericranial nerves in treating headache. RECENT
findingsRecent studies by the same group showed promising results in treating headache using radiofrequency ablation. Pericranial nerves can be a therapeutic target for treating headache. Our results showed efficacy of radiofrequency ablation. More studies using other modalities as neuromodulation are needed and may show efficacy as well.
