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

Primary headaches such as migraine can be aborted by systemic administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), potentially through the non-selective inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) activity in the intracranial meninges. In this study we have used single and double labeling immunohistochemistry to examine the distribution of the COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms in the intracranial dura mater of the rat and identify cell types that express them. COX-1 immunoreactivity was found in medium and small dural blood vessels and was co-expressed with the endothelial cell markers vimentin and the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS). COX-1 was also found to be present in most dural mast cells. COX-2 was mainly expressed in ED2-positive resident dural macrophages. Constitutive COX-2 expression was also found in some axonal profiles, many of which were co-labeled with the nociceptor peptide marker CGRP. The findings suggest that NSAIDs may abort headache, at least in part, by inhibiting either neuronal or non-neuronal COX activity in the dura mater.
