Physical comorbidity of migraine and other headaches in US adolescents.

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
objectiveTo examine the pattern and extent to which other physical conditions are comorbid with migraine and other headaches in youth in a representative sample of the US population. STUDY
designThe National Comorbidity Survey-Adolescent Supplement is a face-to-face survey of adolescents aged 13-18 years in the continental US. Sufficient information to assess the International Headache Society's criteria for migraine with and without aura over the past 12 months was available in the diagnostic module. A caretaker/parental self-administered report was used to assess a broad range of other physical conditions. The sample for these analyses was 6843 adolescents with systematic caretaker/parent reports.
resultsAdolescents with any headaches reported higher rates of other neurologic conditions, including epilepsy (OR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.04-3.94), persistent nightmares (OR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.34-3.87), and motion sickness (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.07-2.4), as well as abdominal complaints (OR, 2.36; 95% CI, 1.59-3.51). Asthma (OR, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.26-3.92) and seasonal allergies (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.12-2.48) were more common in adolescents with migraines than in adolescents with nonspecific headaches.
conclusionAdolescent migraine is associated with inflammatory conditions such as asthma and seasonal allergies, as well as with epilepsy, persistent nightmares, and motion sickness. Our findings suggest that comorbid medical conditions should be evaluated comprehensively in determining treatment options in youth with headache. Such comorbidity also could be an important source of the clinical and etiologic heterogeneity in migraine.
