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
Background: Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is one of a complication of spinal anaesthesia, influenced mostly by various factors including the patient's age, spinal needle size and design and sex. This headache can be severe and debilitating, preventing ambulation and limiting daily living activities. Objective: This study assessed the incidence and associated factors of PDPH among patients who received spinal anaesthesia for orthopaedic procedures at the Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from June to August 2022. Methods: Prospective cohort study design was employed using Consecutive sampling method among patients who received spinal anaesthesia for orthopaedics procedure at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from June to August 2022. Data were collected by face to face interview and direct observation based on questionnaire. The data were entered to epidata 4.6 and analyzed by SPSS version 20 software. A total 95 patients aged 16-75 was participated in study. Those independent variable that were significant on binary logistic regression at Result: Ninety-five study participants were included in our study of which 19 (20%) had developed PDPH. Among patients who develop PDPH; 9.5% of the patients reported moderate pain while 10.5% experience mild PDPH and 80% of patient has no pain. The BMI and age were found to have significant association with PDPH [( Conclusion and recommendation: The incidence of PDPH was found to be higher in Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital. The hospital management and the anaesthetists should minimize the magnitude of by strictly following different preventive strategies.
