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 has been established as a risk factor for ische-mic stroke. Further evidence suggests that migraine is also associated with other ischemic vascular events, including myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. However, these associations appear to be limited to the subgroup of patients with migraine with aura (MA). Moreover, there is increasing evidence that among patients with MA, additional subgroups exist that carry particular increased risk. The association with ischemic stroke is, for example, particularly strong for younger women with MA who smoke and/or use oral contraceptives. Results from recent studies support an even more complex interrelationship characterized by additional modifying effects of other factors on the association between MA and ischemic vascular events. These include vascular risk factors, migraine attack frequency, and genetic variants. In addition, there appear to be differential effects with regard to ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. These new findings await confirmation in independent patient populations and are currently not sufficient to argue for a change in diagnostic testing or treatment.
