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

Introduction: Primary Cough Headache (PCH) is a rare type of headache and needs to be evaluated after exlusion of secondary reasons. There are limited number of case reports in the literature about treatment modalities. Case: Herein, we report that a 42-year-old female patient with PCH who could not use the oral medication because of side effects. When she came to the pain clinic with an attack with intensity of 9/10 , we took her to the local operating room. The ultrasound (US) guided proximal greater occipital nerve block with bupivacaine was performed and the intensity of the attack was reduced to 2/10. The blockage was repeated once a week for a month. After two months, both the intensity of headache and number of attacks decreased and no adverse effect was observed. Conclusion: PCH is a challenge for physicians because of the severity of attacks and difficulty in ruling out secondary causes at the time of diagnosis. The US-guided PGONB can be performed in the emergency department for the PCH when medical treatment fails.
