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

purposeThis study was designed to investigate the cognitive function and the white matter lesions (WMLs) and the relationship between them in medication-overuse headache (MOH) patients.

methodsSubjects were enrolled and performed Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA, Chinese-Beijing Version), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate the general cognitive function, anxiety, depression and sleep quality, and they were divided into three groups according to the MoCA scores: healthy controls, MOH with normal cognition group and MOH with cognitive impairment group. All the participants underwent MRI scans and images were obtained for WML evaluation with Fazekas scale.

resultsOne hundred thirty-four participants were enrolled into this study, 46 of them for healthy controls, and 88 for MOH patients, 40 of the MOH patients for MOH with cognitive impairment group, and 48 for MOH with normal cognition group. MOH patients had significantly lower MoCA scores, including the scores of visuospatial and executive function, attention, and orientation, while they had significantly greater HAMA scores, HAMD-24 scores, PSQI scores, and deep white matter hyperintensity scores compared to healthy controls. And in MOH patients, the age, disease duration, monthly headache days, and periventricular white matter hyperintensity scores in patients with cognitive impairment were greater than those in patients with normal cognition. Moreover, the MoCA scores were negatively related to age, disease duration, monthly headache days, and Fazekas scale scores, and disease duration and monthly headache days were significant predictors of cognitive impairment in MOH patients.

conclusionMOH patients showed cognitive impairment and increased WML burden. And in MOH patients, cognitive function was negatively related to WML burden, and disease duration and monthly headache days were potential predictors of cognitive impairment. Prompt and effective treatment to stop the progression of the disease may alleviate cognitive impairment in MOH patients.
