Association between migraine and risk of stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundResults regarding the association between migraine and risk of stroke are inconsistent.
methodsA literature search of the databases (Web of Science, Google Scholar and PubMed) was made before December 2021. STATA 12.0 software was used. Odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) regarding migraine and risk of stroke were computed.
resultsMigraine was associated with increased risks of total stroke, ischemic stroke (IS) and haemorrhagic stroke (HS) (total stroke: OR/RR = 1.62; 95% CI: 1.44-1.83, I
conclusionsMigraine is associated with a higher risk of total stroke and IS. However, the association between migraine and risk of HS is with more uncertainty.
