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

introductionHeadaches are the most frequent neurological disorder in the pediatric population, with great impact on quality of life. This study aims to characterize a cohort of patients followed at a pediatric neurology unit between January 1st 2013 and December 31st, 2021. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe reviewed medical records and selected patients with primary headaches and a minimum follow-up of 12 months.

resultsA total of 226 patients were included, 54.4% female, with an average age at headache onset of 9 ± 3.5 (3.1-16.5) years; 63.5% were prepubertal. A positive family history of headache was identified in 76.6% of cases and triggers in 63.6%. At first clinical assessment, 45.1% were classified as migraine without aura, 10.6% as migraine with aura, 3.5% tension-type, 8% mixed (tension and migraine), 1.3% other type and 31.4% were unclassifiable. The patients had a median follow-up of 2.4 (1.8-3.3) years. The diagnosis of tension-type headaches remained stable in 75% of the patients and resolved in 25%; 13% of the patients with migraine without aura changed into another type of headache and 17.4% resolved; 44.4% of the patients with migraine with aura turned into another type of headache and 11.1% resolved. Of the variables studied, only duration of headache episode had a significant association with headache remission, with odds ratio 0.16 (p = 0.03; 95% confidence interval: 0.032-0.84).

conclusionsOur study shows that headache type in pediatric population changes over time, especially in those with migraine with aura. The duration of each headache episode was presented as a predictor of headache remission over time.
