Comparative study of greater occipital nerve block and conventional therapy in chronic migraine.
Article in Bioinformation, 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
Chronic migraine is disabling and medicines alone are often not enough so ultrasound guided greater occipital nerve block is used as an add-on therapy. We observed 100 patients where one group received prophylaxis with the block and the other received only prophylaxis with follow up of 90 days. The block group showed a bigger fall in migraine disability score (14.2 to 6.8 vs 14.3 to 9.2 p < 0.0001), lower VAS score (7.9 to 4.4 vs 7.1 to 6.0 p < 0.0001) and fewer headache episodes early and higher satisfaction (12.7 vs 12.3 p = 0.016). Ultrasound guided block was safe and simple and gave better pain relief with reduced medicine use and improved patient satisfaction.
