Article in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
It is not a well-established finding in migraine that female sexual dysfunction (FSD) emerging as a natural course of disease, as a result of accompanying depression/anxiety, or an underlying endocrinological abnormality. Our aim is evaluating the relationship among frequency and severity of migraine, FSD, depression, anxiety, and related hormones in migrainous women. We examined 80 migrainous female and 62 controls cross sectionally. Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, Female Sexual Dysfunction Inventory, Migraine Disability Assessment Test, and hormonal analysis were done. Independent risk factors were identified by logistic regression analysis and cut-off values were measured with Receiver Operating Curve. FSD was not related to frequency or severity of migraine. Although depression and anxiety was related to arousal and lubrication, they had limited effect in FSD. There were correlations between prolactin (PRL), desire and lubrication, follicular-stimulating hormone FSH and orgasm, luteinizing hormone (LH), and pain. Also FSH-LH combination and PRL were found as independent factors for FSD. FSH-LH combination and PRL were found as independent factors which had effect on FSD in migraine. Our study is a precursor study about the effect of several hormones on FSD and migraine relationship. Hormonal effect on FSD in migraine will be clearer with future studies.
