Analysis and 15-Year Projections of the Global Burden of Tension-Type Headache by Sex from 1990 to 2021: A Systematic Review of GBD 2021 Data.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Tension-type headache (TTH) is a prevalent primary headache disorder significantly impacting quality of life and healthcare resource utilization, with females typically bearing a higher disease burden. However, comprehensive analyses and predictive studies on the global TTH burden stratified by gender are currently lacking. Aim: This study utilized data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study to analyze the global burden of tension - type headache by sex from 1990 to 2021 and conducted a 15 - year projection (up to 2036). Methods: We conducted a systematic review of GBD 2021 data, employing Joinpoint regression analysis and decomposition analysis to assess TTH incidence, prevalence, YLDs, and DALYs. Additionally, we used the ARIMA model for a 15-year predictive analysis of TTH burden trends. Results: From 1990 to 2021, global female TTH cases rose from 669.54 million (95% UI: 586.2-751.8 million) to 1.04 billion (95% UI: 923.0-1.1 billion), with incidence increasing from 242.9 million (95% UI: 218.8-267.0 million) to 369.86 million (95% UI: 332.5-407.2 million). Male cases grew from 616.82 million (95% UI: 537.2-696.4 million) to 970 million (95% UI: 851.0-1.0 billion). Decomposition analysis indicated population growth was the primary driver of the increase in female TTH prevalence. Projections suggest that by 2036, the incidence will reach 9,174.84 per 100,000 females (95% UI: 8,854.8-9,494.9), prevalence will be 25,135.1 per 100,000 females (95% UI: 23,977.2-26,283.0), YLD rate will be 62.76 per 100,000 females (95% UI: 58.8-66.7), and DALY rate will be 60.97 per 100,000 females (95% UI: 56.7-65.2). Conclusion: This study highlights the significance of gender in TTH burden, particularly the heightened risk for females. Through temporal trend analysis and predictive modeling, we provide insights into future TTH disease trajectories, aiding global public health policy formulation and healthcare resource allocation.
