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

backgroundHeadaches are common in Chiari Type 1 malformation (CM-1). The prevalence of migraine headaches in CM-1 is similar to that of the general population. However, when migraine headaches occur with CM-1, they tend to have an earlier age of onset, are more frequent and certainly more severe than when they occur without CM-1 association. The exact role or impact of CM-1 in migraine headaches has not been fully elucidated. CASE DESCRIPTION: We report a fatal case of status migrainosus in 7 years old with CM-1 and review the literature on the possible associations.

conclusionMigraines occurring in association with CM-1 pose a management challenge and can be potentially fatal especially if associated with autonomic symptoms. The exact pathophysiological interaction between these two conditions when they occur simultaneously needs to be further elucidated.
