The Role of Polysomnography in Identifying Sleep Disorders in Children with Migraine.
Article in Journal of medicine and life. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Migraine pathophysiology and sleep share common neural pathways, and there are clinical as well as paraclinical observations, which lead to the hypothesis of an association between migraine and sleep disorders. The objective of this study consisted of the evaluation of a possible correlation between migraine and sleep disorders in children, as reflected by sleep architecture and electroencephalographic patterns. Eighteen patients aged five to seventeen were recruited for the migraine group, and sixteen age-matched patients with no criteria for migraine or any underlying organic disorder, diagnosed with emotional disorders, were enrolled in the control group. All patients underwent inpatient full night polysomnographic recordings, the results of which were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods. Patients in the migraine group had decreased REM sleep (p = 0.049) and increased N1 sleep (p = 0.018) percentages, compared to the control group. Also, more arousals (p = 0.011) and lower sleep latency (p = 0.029) were noted in the migraine group. A statistically significant association was observed between migraine and sleep disorders when the latter was defined with respect to normal values of polysomnographic parameters published in studies conducted on healthy children. Polysomnography can be a useful tool for studying sleep in pediatric migraine patients. The results of this study can be regarded as a starting point for a better understanding of the complex role of sleep in the developing brain and of eventual intricacies with migraine pathophysiological mechanisms.
