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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo observe the role of nimodipine combined with flunarizine on angioneurotic headache.

methodsAltogether 101 patients with angioneurotic headache were divided into the control group (CG, n=51) and the therapy group (TG, n=50). Patients in the CG were given nimodipine, while patients in the TG were given flunarizine on the basis of nimodipine. The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of patients were observed.

resultsAfter treatment, the Visual analog scale (VAS) scores of the TG were markedly lower than those in the CG, and the number of attacks and headache duration of patients in the TG were also markedly reduced. Observation of the clinical efficacy showed that the effective rate of the TG was markedly higher than that of the CG, but no additional adverse reactions were found. In addition, after treatment, the cerebral hemodynamics and quality of life of patients were improved.

conclusionNimodipine combined with flunarizine can better promote the recovery of patients with angioneurotic headache and improve their quality of life.
