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

Functional connectivity (FC) has been used to investigate the pathophysiology of migraine. We aimed to identify atypical FC between the periaqueductal gray (PAG) and other brain areas in rats induced by repeated meningeal nociception. The rat model was established by infusing an inflammatory soup (IS) through supradural catheters in conscious rats. Quiescent and face-grooming behaviors were observed to assess nociceptive behavior. FC analysis seeded on the PAG was performed on rats 21 days after IS infusion. The rats exhibited nociceptive behavior correlates of human behaviors associated with migraine after IS infusion. The PAG showed increased FC with the prefrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, and motor cortex but decreased FC with the basal ganglia, dorsal lateral thalamus, internal capsule and prelimbic cortex in the rat model. The atypical FC of the PAG with brain regions in the rat model that are involved in nociception, somatosensory processing, emotional processing, and pain modulation are consistent with the clinical data from migraineurs, indicate that resting-state FC changes in migraine patients may be a consequence of headache attacks, and further validate this rat model of chronic migraine.
