Will I Have a Hangover Headache Tomorrow? A Prospective Cohort Study of the Predictors of Delayed Alcohol-Induced 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
introductionAlcohol-induced headaches are one of the most prevalent types of headaches. The International Classification of Headache Disorders defined them as throbbing and bilateral, and their phenotype combines characteristics of migraines and headaches secondary to low cerebrospinal fluid pressure. We aimed to evaluate the factors associated with the presence of a headache as a hangover symptom.
methodsThis was a prospective cohort study, including 32 healthy individuals who voluntarily consumed alcohol and completed self-administered questionnaires during three separate alcohol consumption and hangover episodes.
resultsA headache was a hangover symptom in 55/96 (57.3%) episodes. The phenotype was predominantly holocranial (94.5%), frontal (98.2%), and pressing (67.2%), with a median intensity of 6 (IQR 4-8). Headaches worsened with physical activity (100%) and had orthostatic changes (89.1%). A prior history of headaches was associated with headache occurrence (odds ratio: 3.480; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.084 to 11.177), and headache precipitation by standing up was associated with a shorter duration (hazard ratio: 0.257; 95% CI: 0.073 to 0.901).
conclusionsDelayed alcohol-induced headaches had a migraine-like phenotype. An orthostatic pattern suggestive of a low cerebrospinal fluid pressure was associated with a shorter duration of the headache.
