Are Retinal and Peripapillary Blood Flows Affected during Migraine Attack?

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 is complex and partially includes the vasculature. This study compared retinal and peripapillary blood flow parameters in migraine patients during an attack with healthy controls using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). A prospective clinical study was conducted including 52 eyes from 26 migraineurs and 48 eyes from 24 healthy controls. OCTAs were performed with RTVue XR Avanti using AngioVue software. OCTA imaging was performed during the attack period in migraineurs before any treatment for the attack. Vascular densities in the whole image, fovea, superior hemisphere, inferior hemisphere, and temporal, superior, nasal, and inferior regions of the parafoveal area and in the superficial and deep capillary plexuses were acquired and statistically analysed. The flow density parameters were measured in the superficial retinal capillary plexus, deep retinal capillary plexus, outer retinal capillary plexus, and choriocapillaris layers of the macula in a 3-mm diameter area. The peripapillary flow densities were measured for the optic nerve head, vitreous, radial peripapillary capillaries, and choroid in a 4.50-mm diameter area around the optic disc. Vascular density measurements in the superficial plexus were similar between migraineurs and controls (
