Resolution of Refractory Headache Symptoms Following Cervical Spinal Manipulation and Electrical Dry Needling in an Adolescent Female: A Case Report.
Article in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Cervicogenic headache (CGH) in adolescents is poorly understood. The overlap in signs and symptoms between CGH, tension-type headaches and migraine headaches complicate the differential diagnosis. Furthermore, poor outcomes for CGH with conventional pharmacology is not uncommon. Adolescents presenting with cephalgia should be screened appropriately for cervical etiology. Evidence supports the use of upper cervical spinal manipulation and dry needling for the treatment of CGH in the adult population. However, there is a lack of evidence supporting the diagnosis and treatment of CGH in adolescents. This case report describes the clinical diagnosis and successful management of a 16-year-old female with chronic, frequent episodic CGH that was refractory to polypharmacy. The patient was able to stop taking all medication for her headaches and reported resolution of pain and disability, following 4-weeks of upper-cervical spine thrust manipulation and electrical dry needling.
