Review in Arquivos de neuro-psiquiatria, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Medication-overuse headache affects 1 to 2% of the global population and is often associated with chronic migraine. This condition significantly impacts the lives of patients, as well as their families, and it poses a major economic burden due to lost productivity and medical costs. The present narrative review is part of a controversy session. We argue that reversing the behavior of overusing symptomatic pain medications is important for the treatment of this type of headache. To support this argument, the article reviews and critically analyzes the relevant literature on the subject.
