Coping and Motivation for Change-An Interview Study of the Experience From Participation in an Educational Program for Patients With Medication-Overuse Headache.
Article in Journal of patient experience, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Patient educational programs (PEP) are recommended as part of the treatment for medication-overuse headache (MOH), however, knowledge of patients' experiences when participating is sparse. This study explored how patients experienced participating in a PEP focusing on empowering coping strategies and motivation for behavioral changes. Eight individual semistructured interviews were conducted among patients suffering from MOH who had attended a PEP intervention in a randomized controlled trial. The PEP involved techniques from Motivational Interviewing as its communicative approach. Data collection, analysis, and interpretation were performed within a phenomenological-hermeneutic framework. Results showed that patients found the educational program relevant regarding coping with headache. Participants shifted from focusing on medication to include other ways to manage headache. Experiences regarding ambivalent feelings for behavioral change and feelings of stigmatization were key issues. Participation in this PEP helped the participants cope with headache in new ways relevant to their everyday lives and challenges. The individualized approach enabled by Motivational Interviewing was experienced as useful by the participants, as it actively involved them in the treatment.
