Medication Overuse Headache: an Updated Review and Clinical Recommendations on Management.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
overviewMedication overuse headache (MOH) is highly prevalent among individuals with primary headache disorders. PURPOSE OF REVIEW: (1) Provide an update on epidemiology, risk factors, and treatment strategies of MOH and (2) provide recommendations on the management of MOH. RECENT
findingsThe prevalence of MOH ranges from 0.5 to 7.2%. Risk factors for MOH include female sex, lower socioeconomic status, some psychiatric conditions, and substance use disorders, among others. Recent large clinical trials support preventative therapy as an integral component of MOH management. Emerging clinical trial evidence supports anti-CGRP mAbs as effective preventative treatments among individuals with migraine and MOH. Among the large clinical trials, candesartan, topiramate, amitriptyline, and onabotulinumtoxinA were the most used preventative therapies, providing further support for these agents. MOH management requires a multifaceted and patient-centered approach that involves patient education, behavioral interventions, withdrawal of the overused medication, and initiation of preventative medication.
