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

backgroundRecent studies suggested an important role for vascular factors in migraine etiopathogenesis. Notch4 belongs to a family of transmembrane receptors that play an important role in vascular development and maintenance. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that polymorphisms of the NOTCH4 gene would modify the occurrence and the clinical features of migraine.

findingsUsing a case-control strategy, we genotyped 239 migraine patients and 264 controls for three different non-synonymous polymorphisms (T320A, G835V, R1346P) of the NOTCH4 gene and for the (CTG) n-encoding polyleucine polymorphism in exon 1. Although the analyzed polymorphisms resulted not associated with migraine, the clinical characteristics of our patients were significantly influenced by the different NOTCH4 genotypes. Longer duration of disease and severity of neurovegetative symptoms during headache attacks were associated with the R1346P and G835V polymorphisms, respectively. In female patients, worsening of migraine symptoms at menarche was significantly correlated with T320A polymorphism.

conclusionsOur study shows that genetic variations within the NOTCH4 gene significantly modify the clinical characteristics of migraine and may have a role in disease pathogenesis.
