Low Dose Naltrexone in Conjunction With the Wahls Protocol to Reduce the Frequency of Chronic Migraines in a Patient With Multiple Sclerosis: A Case Study.

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 case study investigates the efficacy of low dose naltrexone (LDN) and the Wahls Protocol in reducing the frequency and severity of chronic migraine headaches in a 62-year-old White female with multiple sclerosis. Migraines are common among the many debilitating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. A therapeutic intervention of low dose naltrexone titrated to 4.5 mg nightly in combination with dietary changes significantly improved the patient's quality of life by reducing the severity, duration, and frequency of her chronic migraine headaches.
