Cranial autonomic symptoms in episodic and chronic migraine: a cross sectional study in Iran.
Article in BMC neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundCranial autonomic symptoms are common in migraine, with eye redness and tearing being the most common ones. Their identification can help to avoid misdiagnosis, predict the disease course, and select the appropriate treatment.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study of 904 patients who presented with migraine to a headache referral clinic. The participants filled out a questionnaire about their headache characteristics, as well as the presence of cranial autonomic symptoms. A total of 904 patients, 698 women (77.2%) and 206 men (22.8%), were included in the study, with a mean (SD) age of 38.05 (11.76) years.
resultsAbout 70% of subjects with chronic migraine and 56.2% of those with episodic migraine reported one or more cranial autonomic symptoms. The two most commonly reported autonomic symptoms were eye redness (36.06%) and tearing (21.02%). Chronic migraine (43.4% vs. 29.5%), unilateral headache (56.8% vs. 48.7%), and blurred vision (20% vs. 14.7%) were significantly more frequent in migraineurs with cranial autonomic symptoms. Headache intensity and frequency in subjects with cranial autonomic symptoms were significantly higher than in those without cranial autonomic symptoms.
conclusionWe found higher percentages of cranial autonomic symptoms in patients with unilateral headaches, frequent and severe attacks and blurred vision. A diagnosis of cranial autonomic symptoms accompanying migraine may predict more severe disease and the possibility of evolution into chronic migraine.
