Prevalence of migraine among the general population, and its effect on the quality of life in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
objectivesTo estimate the prevalence of migraine headaches, assess the quality of life (QoL) of migraine patients, and compare the QoL between migraine patients and the general population in Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in 2021 on 2058 adults who agreed to participate in the study and completed a questionnaire. The ID-migraine scale was used to screen for migraine, and participants were divided into 3 groups (normal, non-migraine headaches, and migraine headache). To assess and compare the QoL between the migraine group and the normal population, the 36-item short- form survey was used.
resultsThe prevalence of migraine headaches was 37.2%, with a higher prevalence among females (81.1%), and the highest prevalence was observed among students (43.3%). The most common manifestation associated with migraine headaches was photophobia (94.6%), and the most frequently reported triggers were sleep deprivation, stress, and anxiety. In our analysis of the association between migraine headaches and patient QoL, migraine patients showed lower scores in all 8 domains of QoL in comparison with the normal group. Role limitation due to physical health was the most affected domain.
conclusionThe current study showed a high prevalence of migraine in Jeddah. Insufficient sleep was the most frequently reported trigger. Migraine significantly affects all aspects of QoL in comparison with the normal population.
