Incidence and associated factors of postdural puncture headache for parturients who underwent cesarean section with spinal anesthesia at Debre Tabor General Hospital, Ethiopia; 2019.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectivePostdural puncture headache is one of the most frequent late complications of spinal anesthesia. There are different factors that might predispose for postdural puncture headache. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to assess the incidence of postdural puncture headache and its associated factors for parturients who gave birth by cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
methodsHospital-based longitudinal study was conducted on mothers who underwent cesarean section with spinal anesthesia. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were employed. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression were used to measure the association of factors with the presence of postdural puncture headache. A p-value of ⩽0.05 was used to decide statistical significance for multivariable logistic regression.
resultA total of 119 parturients were participated in this study. The incidence of postdural puncture headache was 20.2%. According to multivariable logistic regression, having previous spinal anesthesia (adjusted odds ratio = 7.028; 95% confidence interval = 2.377-20.781; p = 0.0001), using 20- and 22-gauge needle (adjusted odds ratio = 4.206; 95% confidence interval = 1.247-14.187; p = 0.021), and repeated attempt (adjusted odds ratio = 4.699; 95% confidence interval = 1.594-13.872; p = 0.05) had statistically significant association with postdural puncture headache.
conclusionLarger gauge needle size, repeated attempt, and previous spinal anesthesia might increase the incidence of postdural puncture headache.
