Prevalence and associated factors of post dural puncture headache among parturients who underwent cesarean section with spinal anesthesia: A systemic review and meta-analysis, 2021.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05777694 (Investigation of the Effect of Needle Thickness on Postdural Puncture Headache), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
introductionPDPH is a headache that develops after dural puncture which worsens in an upright position, and improves with lying down. It could affect maternal satisfaction and health care quality. The prevalence and factors of PDPH vary based on different literature and there is no previous meta-analysis done.
methodsThis study was done by searching studies from databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Google scholar, and google. Data were extracted by three reviewers independently by using Microsoft Excel and then exported to STATA™ 16 version statistical software for analysis. Heterogeneity assessed using the I
resultEight studies with a total of 175, 652 study participants were included to estimate the pooled prevalence of PDPH following cesarean section under spinal anesthesia. The pooled prevalence of PDPH in this meta-analysis was found to be 23.47% with 95% CI (10.53, 36.42). Having normal BMI, multiple attempts of spinal injection and spinal injection with a needle size of less than or equal to 22 gauge were positively associated with the PDPH with AOR and 95% CI of 1.22 (1.09, 1.35), 3.50 (1.55, 5.44) and 7.36 (4.93, 9.80) respectively.
conclusionThe pooled prevalence of PDPH among parturients who gave birth with the cesarean section under spinal anesthesia is estimated to be 23.47%. Having normal BMI, multiple attempts of spinal injection, and spinal injection with a needle size of less than or equal to 22 gauge were positively associated with the PDPH.
