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

introductionMigraine is a primary headache that involves genetic and environmental factors. In studies conducted in different countries, migraine was shown to be underdiagnosed, treated insufficiently, and highly related to disability. The primary aim of this study was to identify the competence in making a diagnosis of migraine by primary care physicians who provide basic health care to patients.

methodsPrimary care physicians (266 individuals) working in the primary health service centers located within the borders of Kayseri province were included in our study. The research was conducted by using techniques such as face-to-face meetings with the primary care physicians and by participants filling in questionnaires. A neurologist evaluated the questionnaire form. The information provided by the participants was evaluated according to the migraine without aura diagnostic criteria prepared by the International Headache Society (ICHD-3 Beta).

resultsOnly 10.5% participants were able to give the complete diagnostic criteria of migraine without aura. The most well-known properties were unilateral (53.4%) and pulsating headaches (47%).

conclusionThis study showed that educational programs are required regarding migraines for primary care physicians, supported by complete educational material.
