Comparison of cervical muscle isometric force between migraine subgroups or migraine-associated neck pain: a controlled study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2021. 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
This study aimed to verify if migraine frequency or migraine-associated neck pain were associated with a reduction of normalized force and altered electromyographic activity during maximal cervical muscle isometric contractions. Additionally, it aimed to assess the correlation of normalized isometric force with years with migraine, headache frequency, headache intensity, migraine-related disability, and severity of cutaneous allodynia. The sample comprises 71 women with migraine (40/31 episodic/chronic, 42/18 with/without neck pain) and 32 women without headache. Cervical muscle isometric force in flexion, extension, and lateral flexion was assessed synchronized with the acquisition of superficial electromyography from the cervical muscles. Women with episodic migraine presented lower normalized isometric force in extension, flexion, and right and left lateral flexions than controls (P < 0.05). Women with migraine and neck pain exhibited lower cervical extension and right/left lateral-flexions normalized isometric force than controls (P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed in antagonist activity. Normalized isometric force in all directions showed weak to moderate correlations with the severity of self-reported symptoms of cutaneous allodynia (- 0.25 ≥ r ≥ - 0.39). No additional linear correlation with clinical migraine features was observed. In conclusion, cervical muscle weakness may be associated with episodic migraine and neck pain concurrent with migraine attacks without altered antagonist activity. Additionally, it may also be related to the severity of cutaneous allodynia.
