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

contextMigraine is common debilitating disorders, affecting 10 to 20% of the world's population. However, proper diagnosis is delayed due to many factors.

aimsTo determine various factors associated with delayed diagnosis of migraine. SETTINGS AND

designHospital-based cross-sectional study. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients attending Neurology OPD of AIIMS Bhopal and satisfying diagnostic criteria of the International Headache Society (ICHD-3β) for migraine were selected for study. MIDAS, MINI, and ROME-III were used. First diagnosis was considered as "Appropriate" if patients were previously diagnosed as "migraine" or getting treatment for it; otherwise labeled as "Inappropriate." STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Associations were tested by Chi-square,

resultsHundred patients (female = 77) of migraine were included. Mean age (SD) was 32.42 (10.74). Diagnosis was "inappropriate" in 65 patients. Number of inappropriate diagnosis/appropriate diagnosis was 10/40 (25%) by neurologists; 35/39 (89.3%) by physicians; 18/18 (100%) by ophthalmologists. Factors associated with "Inappropriate Diagnosis" were "Neurologist vs Other Doctors" {10 (25%) vs 55 (91.7%),

conclusionDelayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis is very frequent in migraine, leading to financial burden to patients. Management of common disorders like migraine should be addressed in undergraduate medical teaching curriculum.
