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

backgroundBased on recent findings and our own impressions we took a closer look at the relationship between (inter)ictal photophobia and psychometric variables in migraine patients with photophobia.

findingsFor this study we included 29 (27 female) migraine patients and 31 (18 female) controls with a mean age of 31.6 ± 12.5 years and 24.0 ± 4.1 years, respectively. All participants filled out the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). Interictal photophobia in patients was significantly higher than photophobia in controls (p = .001). Patients showed statistically significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms (p < .001), anxiety symptoms (p < .001) and stress (p < .001) than controls. Among all participants, (interictal) photophobia correlated positively with age (rho = .318, p = .013) as well as with the levels of depressive symptoms (rho = .459, p < .001), anxiety symptoms (rho = .346, p = .008) and stress (rho = .368, p = .005), but not with gender. In the patients, ictal photophobia correlated positively with age (rho = .473, p = .01) and interictal photophobia (rho = .423, p = .022). Linear regression analysis revealed only a trend towards statistical significance for (interictal) photophobia as a predictor for the level of depressive symptoms (rho = .457, p = 0.056) in the whole sample.

conclusionsConsidering higher levels of photophobia in depression and the comorbidity of migraine and depression, it might be possible that depression contributes to interictal photophobia in patients with migraine. The same may be true for anxiety and stress. Both are also related to migraine and their possible impact on photophobia in migraine may be explained by pupillary dysfunction.
