The brain structure and function alterations in tension-type headache: A protocol for systematic review and meta analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2020. 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
objectiveThe aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of tension-type headache (TTH), as well as propose avenues for future neuroimaging studies of TTH.
methodsFrom the inception dates to May 1, 2020, a systematic literature will search in Medline (Ovid SP), Embase (Ovid SP), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and 4 Chinese databases without limitation on language or publication. Additionally, International Clinical Trials Registry Platform , reference lists, and relevant gray literatures will be searched. After screening of eligible references, included studies will be determined according to included criteria, and then data extraction and a methodological quality assessment with a customized checklist will be conducted. Each process will be independently implemented by 2 reviewers, any disagreement will be resolved by consensus to the third researcher. If the extracted data is feasible, anisotropic effect-size version of signed differential mapping will be conducted to perform the meta-analysis of the structural and functional brain alterations in TTH patients.
