Narrative Review: Headaches After Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome.
Review 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.
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 reviewReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a disorder with distinct features: recurrent thunderclap headaches with reversible vasoconstriction of intracranial arteries. Substantial studies regarding outcomes after RCVS were conducted, showing favorable functional outcomes in most patients despite the potentially life-threatening complications of RCVS, including ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage, or convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, patients may report headaches after the resolution of RCVS while relative studies were scarce. RECENT
findingsTwo prospective studies from different cohorts consistently revealed that RCVS recurred in at least 5% of patients. Patients with prior migraine history and patients whose thunderclap headaches are elicited by sexual activity or exertion are at higher risk for RCVS recurrence. On the other hand, several retrospective studies and case reports reported that chronic headaches are common in RCVS patients after the resolution of acute bouts. The chronic headaches after RCVS are sometimes disabling in certain patients. Headaches after RCVS are not uncommon but usually overseen. Medical attention and examinations are warranted in patient with RCVS who reported recurrence of thunderclap headaches or chronic headaches after RCVS.
