Review in Experimental brain research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 74 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Migraine is a complex neurological disease with a genetic background. Headache is the most prominent and clinically important symptom of migraine but its origin is still enigmatic. Numerous clinical, histochemical, electrophysiological, molecular and genetical approaches form a puzzle of findings that slowly takes shape. The generation of primary headaches like migraine pain seems to be the consequence of multiple pathophysiological changes in meningeal tissues, the trigeminal ganglion, trigeminal brainstem nuclei and descending inhibitory systems, based on specific characteristics of the trigeminovascular system. This contribution reviews the current discussion of where and how the migraine pain may originate and outlines the experimental work to answer these questions.
