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

Headache attributed to aeroplane travel (AH) is a well-defined nosological entity whose diagnostic criteria have been published in the third provisional International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) and confirmed in the definitive version. Despite the severe intensity of pain, less than half of the AH cases described used medications for preventing the attack. The most frequent prophylactic therapy spontaneously used by sufferers are simple analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and nasal decongestants, achieving a complete or partial benefit in about 50% of patients. A complete response of AH to fast-acting triptans has been reported. We describe the case of a 37-year-old migrainous woman suffers from AH in about 75% of her flights who preempted the attacks by using a long-acting triptan (frovatriptan). Giving triptans' mechanism of action, an involvement of the trigemino-vascular system in the pathogenesis of AH could be advanced.
