Primary headache content on online community platforms: a scoping review protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. 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
introductionAs the usage of online platforms becomes increasingly prevalent to share information, it is essential to garner a better understanding of the content disseminated across the internet. Studies have found that patients are relying on online resources to gather medical information, potentially encountering misinformation. The sharing of information concerning primary headaches, despite affecting a large portion of the world's population, has not been comprehensively analysed through the lens of online content. This scoping review seeks to explore the extent of available information, uncover existing gaps in knowledge, and to serve as a resource for healthcare providers to educate themselves to provide informed care to patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: Studies considered for inclusion are those focused on primary headache (including migraines, tension headaches and cluster headaches) content posted on a community platform. Any online community forum will be eligible, including but not limited to TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, online forums and blogs. Studies will be limited to those published in English, with no geographic restriction. Five electronic databases, namely PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, EMBASE, PsycInfo, will be searched for published reports. Two reviewers will independently screen titles and abstracts. The reviewers will then assess the full texts selected. In both cases, disagreements will be discussed with a third reviewer and consensus will be achieved. Data analysis will be descriptive with a narrative summary. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Since this is a scoping review of previously published summary data, ethical approval for this study is not needed. Findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This protocol is registered on the Open Science Framework Repository (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/2MAFN).
