Article in Brain sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05536635 (The Effect of Breathing Techniques on Attack Frequency and Severity in Migraine-like Headaches-randomised Control Trial), which is not on this map.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

backgroundThe global active prevalence of migraines is approximately 14.7%. Oxygen therapy may reduce the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which often have various negative side effects. The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze the literature on the efficacy of high flow oxygen for the management of headache disorders, compared to placebo treatment.

methodsStudies were identified by PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus database from 1980 to the 30 October 2020. The search included the following terms: "oxygen therapy" and "headache" and "migraine". Studies were included if high flow oxygen was used in the treatment of headache disorders. All selected studies were qualitatively analyzed.

resultsOur literature search identified 71 studies, of which 65 were discarded and 6 were included in the meta-analysis. The random effect model did not show a pooled significant resolution of headache disorders (OR 2.08 (95% CI 0.92-4.70),

conclusionIn our systematic review of six studies, there were no significant differences between high flow oxygen and placebo treatment groups.
