Medication Overuse Headache in Children and Adolescents: A Narrative Review.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2026. 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
purpose of reviewMedication overuse headache (MOH) is a secondary headache disorder that occurs in patients with pre-existing primary headache disorders who frequently use acute headache medications. While management strategies for MOH have been increasingly studied in adults, there remains limited data guiding diagnosis and treatment in children and adolescents. This review summarizes recent evidence on the epidemiology, medication patterns, and management strategies for pediatric MOH and compares these findings with the adult literature. RECENT
findingsThrough our literature search over the past 5 years, we revealed only 2 studies evaluating treatment strategies in MOH in pediatrics. Recent epidemiologic studies of pediatric MOH revealed an increased impact to quality of life, time spent in ictal state, and absenteeism compared to peers with other primary headache disorders. Despite its impact on quality of life and school attendance, pediatric MOH remains understudied. Larger prospective studies are needed to determine optimal treatment strategies and improve evidence-based management in this population.
