Procedural and patient-related factors play differential roles in postdural puncture headache.

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/aim: The incidence of postdural puncture headache varies depending on the multifactorial nature of the risk factors. Patient-related and procedure-related risk factors are still controversial. In this prospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the risk factors for postdural puncture headache, the effect of previous headache features on the development of postdural puncture headache, and the risk factors for the immediate or delayed postdural puncture headache. Materials and methods: We prospectively analyzed 116 patients who underwent lumbar puncture for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. All clinical and laboratory findings, previous headache history, and the features and information related to the lumbar puncture procedure were evaluated. Results: We found that the presence of longer and more frequent attacks, independent of the type of the prior headache, and a history of migraine accompanied by osmophobia are independent risk factors for postdural puncture headache. A lower volume of cerebrospinal fluid collected, higher frequency of previous headache attacks, diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and acetazolamide use were risk factors for the immediate-onset postdural puncture headache. Conclusion: This is the first study to detail the previous headache features in the development of postdural puncture headache and to extensively examine the risk factors for immediate and delayed postdural puncture headache. It was shown for the first time that patient-related factors may be more important in terms of the development of postdural puncture headache, and procedure-related factors gain importance in terms of its time of occurrence.
