Weekend Headaches in School-Age Children.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Children commonly encounter primary headaches, with various factors playing a role in their onset. The daily routine notably contributes to the occurrence of primary headaches in children. This study aims to profile children experiencing headaches on weekends (WH) in comparison to those primarily having headaches midweek (MWH). Out of 109 children visiting a pediatric headache clinic, 60 prospectively filled out questionnaires regarding their headaches. The average age was 11.8 years, and 63% were of female sex. Most of the children suffered from migraine headaches (60%), while the rest suffered from tension-type headaches (TTH, 15%), mixed headaches (17%), or undetermined headaches (8%). None of the children suffered from a headache only on the weekend. In contrast, 14 (23%) children suffered from a headache exclusively in midweek. Children with learning difficulties were similarly distributed between the WH and the MWH groups (48% and 52%, respectively). Children without learning difficulties suffered significantly more from MWH compared to WH (79% vs. 21%, respectively). In conclusion, children did not suffer from WH alone. Self-reported triggers were not significantly different in WH and MWH patients. Proper profiling of headache types and triggers may lead to more accurate management of these patients.
