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

purpose of reviewSleep and headache disorders share a complex, bidirectional relationship. This review summarizes current evidence on various aspects of sleep and three primary headache disorders—migraine, tension-type headache, and cluster headache. We also suggest inclusion of a clinical questionnaire and treatment pearls for clinicians treating patients presenting with headache and sleep complaints. RECENT

findingsSeveral sleep disorders, particularly insomnia and restless legs syndrome, are highly prevalent in patients with migraine. Insomnia may contribute to or be a manifestation of a more severe migraine phenotype. Poor sleep is associated with worse pain severity for chronic tension type headache. Circadian studies in cluster headache further confirm hypothalamic and possibly, the trigeminal ganglion control. Behavioral interventions and pharmacologic considerations may optimize sleep and headache outcomes. Sleep symptoms and headache frequently co-occur, with emerging evidence identifying underlying networks and drivers. Individualized sleep assessments and interventions are an important part of comprehensive headache treatment for many patients.
