Ictal Headache: A Case Report.
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
Migraine and epilepsy are traditionally considered to be unrelated conditions; however, they share pathophysiological mechanisms that could lead to headache associated with seizures or headache as the sole manifestation of epilepsy. We present a case of a 23-year-old female patient with severe headache as the only manifestation of epilepsy, and after multiple treatments without improvement, she underwent an electroencephalogram that showed epileptic activity coincident with the headache. The patient responded positively to oxcarbazepine, confirming the diagnosis of ictal headache. Ictal headache is an infrequent manifestation of epilepsy, primarily in focal seizures, and the diagnosis is often challenging due to the similarity of symptoms with other types of headaches and the difficulty in detecting epileptic discharges during the headache.
