Dizziness and vertigo during the prodromal phase and headache phase of migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Cephalalgia : an international journal of headache, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectiveTo assess the proportion of individuals who report dizziness and/or vertigo during the prodromal phase or headache phase of migraine.
methodsThe databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched for studies on dizziness and/or vertigo during the prodromal phase or headache phase of migraine. Pooled relative frequencies were estimated using a random-effects meta-analysis.
resultsWe identified nine articles eligible for inclusion. Of these, one study reported results for the prodromal phase, seven studies for the headache phase and one study for both the prodromal and headache phase. In the prodromal phase, 9.0% of individuals with migraine reported dizziness, while 3.3% reported vertigo. During the headache phase, relative frequency of dizziness ranged from 6.7% to 59.6%, while vertigo ranged from 6.4% to 44.7%. The meta-analysis showed a relative frequency of 35.7% for dizziness (95% CI = 13.7-61.5%, I
conclusionWe found that there is a scarcity of literature on dizziness and vertigo as prodromal- and headache-associated symptoms in individuals with migraine. Methodological variations confound comparisons of epidemiological patterns, although it appears that dizziness and vertigo are more frequent during the headache phase of migraine, compared with the prodromal phase. Future studies should ensure use of standardized definitions and rigorous methodology to enable accurate measurements of dizziness and vertigo in migraine.
