Screening for Medication Overuse Headache Can Reduce Patients' Suffering From Chronic Daily Headache: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Headache is one of the major global health problems and an economic burden on the population. Common causes of chronic daily headaches are migraine and tension-type headaches, respectively. Medication overuse headache (MOH) is one of the common secondary causes of chronic daily headaches. It appears if the original chronic headache was not treated properly and the patient excessively used over-the-counter medicines as an abortive medication. It can be diagnosed easily if the clinician asks for a detailed history and finds out if the patient fulfills the criteria of MOH. The management requires patient education and withdrawal of the medication use, which can be done successfully most of the time in an outpatient clinic. General practitioners are the initial encounter with this type of patient, so they must screen for this type of headache and establish management to reduce the patient's suffering and burden on other health care facilities.
