Female versus male migraine: an event-related potential study of visual neurocognitive processing.
Article in The journal of headache and pain, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundSeveral studies have suggested cognitive deficits in migraineurs, and sex differences have also been observed in migraine, such as a higher prevalence in females. Nevertheless, little is known about gender-related differences in cognitive processing. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of gender on neurocognitive processing in migraineurs.
methodsAltogether, 46 migraine patients without aura (23 females; mean age 32.848 years) during the interictal period and 46 age-matched healthy controls (23 females; mean age 32.652 years) were recruited. The emotional characteristics of participants were evaluated, and attentive processing was analyzed via event-related potential examinations using a three-stimulus visual oddball paradigm.
resultsWe found that migraineurs suffered from emotional and visual cognitive processing abnormalities compared with healthy controls, including higher levels of anxiety and reduced P3 amplitude. These parameters were modulated by gender in migraine patients, but not in healthy participants. Our findings indicated that female patients seemed to be more anxious and have more severe impairment in attentive processing of visual stimuli than their male counterparts. The gender-related differences in migraineurs were further validated using event-related potential difference waveforms.
conclusionsThese results suggested that migraine might have an additional influence on females and lead to more dysfunction in their interictal neurocognitive processing. Our findings provide evidence that a gender effect exists in migraineurs, which should be considered when designing experiments and exploring treatment approaches. The gender-related differences and underlying mechanisms deserve further investigation for patients with migraine.
