Management of Chronic Migraine in Children and Adolescents: A Brief Discussion on Preventive Therapies.
Review in Paediatric drugs, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Pediatric migraine is a debilitating disease that affects about 10% of school-aged children. Like other pain disorders, migraines can be accompanied with sleep, mood, and cognitive difficulties, leading to interruptions in daily tasks required at both school and home. This paper serves as a review of the most current pharmacological treatments available for managing migraine in the pediatric population. Because the management of migraine is complex, we discuss the importance of multidisciplinary care involving pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures, behavioral modifications, and a shared treatment plan between the clinician, patient, and parent/care giver. A diverse group of medications are used to prevent migraine attacks including antiepileptics, antidepressants, antihistamines, and antihypertensive agents, in addition to newer classes of medications; yet there remains a serious lack of controlled studies in the pediatric population. Further clinical research is necessary to have Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications readily available for migraine sufferers.
