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

To explore the relationships between psychosocial difficulties (PSDs), quality of life (QoL), and disability and to explore the degree to which PSDs can be predicted by demographic variables, clinical variables, and risk and protective factors. Patients with episodic migraine completed a protocol inclusive of PARADISE 24 questionnaire (the 24-item Psychosocial Difficulties Relevant to Brain Disorders questionnaire), a new questionnaire that captures PSDs relevant to brain disorders, and assessments of disability, QoL, disease severity, presence of comorbidities, social support, and clinical and risk factors (i.e., smoking and body mass index). Spearman's correlation was used to address the relationship between PARADISE 24, and the assessments of disability and QoL; multivariable linear regression analysis was carried out to address PARADISE 24 predictors. Eighty patients were enrolled (86.3 % females, mean age 44.5). PARADISE 24 was well correlated with disability (ρ = 0.787) and moderately with QoL (ρ = -0.526). The regression analysis shows that younger age, higher migraine frequency, higher comorbidities index and being a smoker were predictors of PARADISE 24 (R
