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

An impaired processing of sensory afferents in the brainstem plays a key role in the development of migraine attack and for many of its clinical aspects. The repetition or prolonged of painful stimuli over time would be able to produce a prolonged and reversible increase of excitability and synaptic efficacy in the nociceptive pathways of the central nervous system. This phenomenon, known as sensitization, involves specifically the caudal trigeminal nucleus. Being an aspect of untreated migraine, allodynia is more common in patients with chronic migraine and migraine with aura, often associated with motor and sensory symptoms sometimes present during the attacks. The presence of allodynia in the course of migraine attack greatly increases the disability of the patient and its recognition, as well as from a therapeutic point of view, it is essential in the management of migraine patients.
