Psychiatric Co-Morbidities Among Children and Adolescents With Headache: Findings From a Cross-Sectional Study in Bangladesh.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionHeadaches in pediatric populations are increasingly recognized as being associated with psychiatric disorders, predicting poor clinical outcomes. Despite global evidence, data from South Asia, particularly Bangladesh, remain sparse, limiting region-specific insights into this comorbidity.
methodsThis descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Pediatric Neurology Departments of two tertiary care hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, between July 2019 and March 2020. A total of 151 children and adolescents were assessed using the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-III beta version) for headache classification and the validated Bangla version of the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) for psychiatric diagnoses.
resultsTension-type headache was the most common type of headache (62.9%), followed by migraines (16.6%). Psychiatric co-morbidities were identified in 39.7% of participants, with 13.2% presenting with multiple psychiatric disorders. Anxiety disorders (19.9%) and depressive disorders (12.6%) were the most prevalent. Children experiencing frequent headaches had significantly higher rates of psychiatric co-morbidities (p = 0.020, 95% CI: 0.000-0.042). Logistic regression analysis revealed headache frequency as a minor but noteworthy predictor of psychiatric co-morbidity (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.016-1.093).
conclusionThis study highlights a high burden of psychiatric disorders among children and adolescents with headaches in Bangladesh, emphasizing the importance of psychiatric screening and multidisciplinary management approaches for pediatric headache. The findings provide valuable regional data and reinforce the need for pediatrician-psychiatrist collaboration to improve outcomes.
