Headache in the paediatric population: the role of the ophthalmologist.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 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
Introduction: Headache is a very common pathology in pediatric age, but the responsibility of ophthalmological factors in determining headache may be underestimated. Aim: Identify how headache presents and determine the prevalence of the different causes in children; investigate the role of the ophthalmologist and of the ophthalmic diagnostic investigations in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric headache. Methods: 101 children, aged 4-18 years, with non-traumatic headache were included in the study. Each child underwent a questionnaire regarding headache characteristics and all the clinical and instrumental examinations necessary to reach the diagnosis. Results: Migraine was the most common form (28.7%), followed by headache associated with inadequate refractive error. (HARE, 23.7%), tension-type headache (17.8%), strabismus (16.8%), intracranial hypertension (6.9%), digital eye strain (5.9%). Myopia was the most prevalent type of HARE (50%). Strabismus headache was present especially in intermittent exotropia (41.2%) and convergence insufficiency (35.3%). Discussion: HARE and strabismus, despite the latter is not included in the final version of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, can cause frontal headache in many cases. Conclusion: Ocular causes are a frequent cause of a relevant percentage of pediatric headaches.
