Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS): an interesting case report.
Article in The journal of headache and pain, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundReversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome is a condition of transient cerebral vascular spasms, which usually presents with recurrent thunderclap headaches and recovers within 3 months. Several probable triggers and underlying factors, such as sex hormones, vasoactive drugs, head trauma or surgery, and tumors, have been implicated. CASE PRESENTATION: In this paper, we present a 53-year-old woman with thunderclap headaches and normal lab tests who was radio-clinically diagnosed with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome and treated accordingly. Then, she experienced the recurrence of RCVS after about 2 years and headaches after 1 year in association with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, hypothyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and a urine metanephrine level of 5 times higher than the normal limit, suggesting a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. After confirmation of the diagnosis with further imaging studies, surgical removal of the tumor resolved all the signs and symptoms.
conclusionOften underdiagnosed, pheochromocytoma could be an important condition associated with RCVS. It is important for clinicians to bear this diagnosis in mind while dealing with similar cases of recurrent thunderclap headaches.
