The Burden of Analgesics Overprescription for Chronic Headache: Impacts on Patients, Healthcare System and Countries.
Review in Journal of multidisciplinary healthcare, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Chronic headache (CH) is a leading cause of debilitating disorders, with many headache types remaining undiagnosed due to improper medication use. This misuse not only worsens the underlying condition but also leads to a secondary problem: medication overuse headache (MOH). This creates a cycle of increasingly complex headache cases, posing significant challenges for patients, healthcare providers, and the healthcare system as a whole. Physicians often contribute to this issue by prescribing analgesics without proper assessment or adequately educating patients on their correct use, thereby increasing the risk of MOH. However, MOH is a preventable condition. Prevention relies on educating both healthcare providers-through adherence to headache management guidelines-and patients, empowering them to use medications appropriately. This article provides a comprehensive review of the consequences of overprescription analgesics for CH population, and effective prevention strategies to mitigate its impact.
