Evaluation of migraine patients with optical coherence tomography angiography.

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
purposeTo compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in cases with migraine and healthy controls.
methodsThirty-eight eyes of 19 patients with migraine with aura and 38 eyes of 19 healthy subjects were enrolled in this prospective and comparative study. All patients and healthy controls were evaluated with OCTA (Triton, Topcon®, Tokyo, Japan). Central macular thickness (CMT), optic disc parameters (such as retinal nerve fibre layer [RNFL] thickness and rim and disc areas), foveal avascular zone (FAZ) and parafoveal superficial vessel density (VD) measurements were analysed.
resultsThe optic disc rim area was significantly larger in the migraine group compared to the control group (p = 0.009). In OCTA measurements, the FAZ area was significantly larger in migraine patients (p = 0.001). The parafoveal superficial VD measurements were found to be lower in the migraine patients in all quadrants, but not statistically significant. Weak negative correlations were found between superior parafoveal VD and disease duration in migraine patients.
conclusionMigraine with aura was associated with optic disc rim changes, but without any remarkable foveal vascular decrements. It is possible for migraine to cause structural changes due to its chronic nature.
