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.

Abstract

Background: Our objective was to observe the course of preexisting migraine following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in patients with and without craniotomy. Methods: We designed an exploratory analysis and hypothesis-generating study of prospectively collected data starting by recruiting patients suffering from SAH with the Hunt and Hess scale score of ≤ 4. Out of 994 cases, we identified 46 patients with preexisting active migraine defined by at least four attacks in the year before SAH. According to the treatment, we subdivided the patients into two groups: the first group included patients with surgical aneurysm clipping with transection of the middle meningeal artery (MMA) and accompanying trigeminal nerve branches and the second group included patients with endovascular aneurysm coiling or without any interventional treatment. During the follow-up, we recorded the course of migraine frequency, duration, intensity, and character. Results: For both groups (craniotomy Conclusions: Our study provides evidence that the dura mater might be related to migraine headaches and that transection of the MMA and accompanying trigeminal dural nerve branches might disrupt the pathway leading to a reduction of migraine attacks. However, coiling alone ameliorated migraine complaints.
