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
backgroundThe use of the MRI method has opened up a new perspective on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of brain lesions.
aimTherefore, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of brain subclinical lesions in MRI images of migraine patients.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 patients with a migraine referred to Baqiyatallah and Amir Al-Momenin Hospitals from 2005 to 2006. We measured the relationship between the results of MRI and the type of brain subclinical lesion by indices such as age, gender, type of a migraine, the number of migraine attacks, blood pressure and heart diseases, cholesterol, diabetes and thyroid diseases. Finally, data were analysed by IBM SPSS statistics software version 23. The significance level in this study was considered as P > 0.05.
resultsFrom among 300 patients, 87.7% were women in the age range of 13-72 years. Moreover, the results indicated that with increasing age, blood pressure and some migraine attacks, the frequency of abnormal MRI also is increased significantly as well as the ratio of a migraine with aura was significantly higher than a migraine without aura in individuals with abnormal MRI. Also, the ratio of white matter lesions (WML) is higher in a classical migraine (a Migraine with aura). Statistical analyses did not reveal any significant relationship between MRI results on age, diabetes, cholesterol, heart and thyroid diseases.
conclusionThe prevalence of abnormal MRI in older people and those with high blood pressure and migraine with aura is higher, and the ratio of subclinical lesions in the population of a migraine with aura is more common than a migraine without aura.
