External-Compression Headache Caused by Wearing a Work Helmet Lasting for Approximately Seven Months: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
External compression headaches are relatively rare. However, the consultation rate is low and the disease is not well recognized. This report describes a patient who developed intolerable headaches after wearing a helmet at a construction site and required approximately seven months of leave from work. The patient continued to wear the helmet even after the onset of an external compression headache, which worsened. In particular, acute drug treatment is ineffective, resulting in the need for long-term absence. Based on the discrepancy between prevalence and consultation rates, educating occupational workers and workplaces requiring helmet use for external compression headaches is essential.
