Orthostatic Headache in Children Including Postural Tachycardia Syndrome and Orthostatic Hypotension: A Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimAlthough head and/or neck pain attributed to orthostatic hypotension is included in international guidelines, its mechanisms and relevance remain unknown. This study examined the term's relevance and aimed to elucidate the associated clinical features.
methodsAn active stand test was performed to evaluate fluctuations in systemic and cerebral circulation in children and adolescents reporting complaints in the absence of a confirmed organic disorder. The subjects were categorized based on orthostatic headache presence/absence, and their characteristics and test results were compared.
resultsPostural tachycardia syndrome was observed in 50.0% of children with, and 55.1% without, orthostatic headache. For orthostatic hypotension, the respective values were 31.3% and 30.6%. A history of migraine was more prevalent in children with orthostatic headaches (64.1% vs. 28.6%;
conclusionFluctuations in cerebral blood flow were associated with orthostatic headaches in children, suggesting that the headaches are due to impaired intracranial homeostasis. As orthostatic headache can have multiple causes, the term "head and/or neck pain attributed to orthostatic (postural) hypotension" should be replaced with a more inclusive term.
