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

We explored the atypical functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex and other brain areas in rats subjected to repeated meningeal nociception. The rat model was established by infusing an inflammatory soup through supradural catheters in conscious rats. Rats were subdivided according to the frequency of the inflammatory soup infusions. Functional connectivity analysis seeded on the anterior cingulate cortex was performed on rats 21 days after inflammatory soup infusion. Glyceryl trinitrate was injected following baseline scanning in the low-frequency inflammatory soup group and magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired 1 h after the injection. The rats exhibited nociceptive behavior after high-frequency inflammatory soup infusion. The anterior cingulate cortex showed increased functional connectivity with the cerebellum in the inflammatory soup groups. The medulla showed increased functional connectivity with the anterior cingulate cortex in the ictal period in the low-frequency inflammatory soup rats. Several areas showed increased functional connectivity with the anterior cingulate cortex in the high-frequency inflammatory soup group, including the pontine tegmentum, midbrain, thalamus, corpus callosum, hippocampus, and retrosplenial, visual, sensory, and motor cortices. This study indicated that the medulla participates in the early stage of a migraine attack and may be associated with the initiation of migraine. Sensitization of the trigeminal nociceptive pathway might contribute to the cutaneous allodynia seen in chronic migraine. Brain areas important for memory function may be related to the chronification of migraine. Electrophysiological studies should examine those migraine-related areas and provide new targets for migraine treatment and prevention.
