1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: The aim of this study was to design and use a headache diary in patients with frequent tension-type headaches (TTH). Another aim was to assess the relationship among oral behaviors, range of motion, and tenderness to palpation of the craniomandibular muscles. Methods: Thirty-four patients participated in this prospective observational study for a 3-month period at the Adavall Clinic for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (Valladolid, Spain) in 2019. Oral behaviors were collected through the Oral Behavior Checklist in the Adavall-TTH diary. Range of motion was measured in the cervical region and in the temporomandibular joint. Tenderness to palpation was measured on 38 myofascial trigger points of the craniomandibular region. Results: Oral behaviors were directly related to the pain intensity of TTH, the number of days, and the headache diagnostic criteria. Cervical range of motion was indirectly related to the intensity of TTH and the number of days of TTH (from Conclusion: We found associations between examination findings and TTH diagnostic criteria. The headache diary may be a useful tool in the diagnosis and management of TTH and for analyzing the relationship between oral activities and temporomandibular joint tenderness in TTH. Future research should test the validity and reliability of this diary.
