The effect of intermittent hypoxia training on migraine: a randomized controlled trial.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2020. 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
objectiveTo study the effect of intermittent hypoxia training (IHT) for migraine.
designA single-blind, randomized controlled trial. All participants were recruited from a rehabilitation department in an acute university-affiliated hospital.
methodsParticipants with migraines were randomly assigned to two groups (IHT group and control group). The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters were collected at baseline and end of the 8
resultsAmong the 48 subjects, five males and forty-three females, the ages ranged from 19 to 53 years old (mean ± SD = 31.3±7.78). MIDAS, SF-36, VAS, BAI, BDI, VEGF, CGRP and cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters were improved after IHT intervention. There were significant differences between IHT group and the control group in MIDAS, SF-36, VAS, BAI, BDI, VEGF, CGRP and cerebrovascular hemodynamic parameters at the end of the 8
conclusionIHT could improve migraines after intervention up to three months. IHT could be an effective method for relieving a migraine.
