Accidental Dural Puncture in Obstetrics: A Headache to the Anesthesiologist.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a known complication of neuraxial techniques. Pregnant women are particularly predisposed to this condition. When it occurs, it can increase hospital costs due to prolonged stays and adversely affect maternal well-being, delivery experience, and newborn care. This case report underscores the importance of considering differential diagnoses for postpartum headache, including complications related to neuraxial procedures such as epidural catheter placement and epidural blood patch (EBP). Although PDPH is a well-recognized complication, special attention is warranted in cases where symptoms persist despite initial treatment, including the need for a second EBP. Moreover, rare but serious complications such as meningitis should always be considered, as they can significantly delay maternal recovery, extend hospitalization, and interfere with both newborn care and the overall postpartum experience.
