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

background and purposeMigraine suffering is more than the onset of head pain. The broad non-painful clinical symptoms associated with migraine are not well recognized. Recent researches support that migraineurs suffer attention deficits, but these findings are not conclusive. The purpose of our study was to assess whether patients with migraine without aura (MwoA) during the interictal period have attention impairment and to identify the migraine characteristics related to attention deficits.

methodsWe enrolled subjects with MwoA during the interictal period and healthy controls matched for age, gender, and education level in this cross-sectional study. The attention network test (ANT) and a battery of neuropsychological tests, including the trail-making test (TMT), the digit span test (DST), and the Stroop test, were administered to the participants during the headache-free period.

resultsForty-four subjects with MwoA (4 males, 40 females) and 20 controls matched for age, gender, and literacy education were included. Patients in MwoA were more anxious (

conclusionOur study suggested that patients in MwoA present worse performances on the executive control of attention networks during the headache-free period, which appear not be associated with measures of migraine severity. Although more studies are needed in this area, our results could be useful to find specific neuropsychological biomarker for migraine pathophysiology.
