Analysis of headache burden Chinese in the global context from 1990 to 2021.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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: Headache is one of the leading causes of disability in worldwide and in China, and the second most burden disease of the nervous system after stroke. We aimed to analyze the global trends in the burden of headache disorders, migraine and TTH among people in China in an international context. Methods: Data were taken from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 database to examine trends in the incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life year of headache disorders. Results: In the context of a large scale in the world, headache is currently in a state of high incidence in China, and female middle-aged and young patients are the main body of this disease. Conclusions: Need to focus on the vulnerable population in China, while formulating effective health policies and developing good treatment measures to reduce the incidence of headache disorders and improve the DALYs rate of headache.
