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: In recent years, a growing number of researches indicate that S100B may act in migraine, but the relationship between S100B and migraine remains controversial. Therefore, the current study aimed to perform a meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize S100B levels in migraine patients. Methods: We used Stata 12.0 software to summarize eligible studies from PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Wanfang databases. We applied standardized mean differences (SMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs) to appraise the association between S100B and migraine. Results: The combined results of nine case-control studies indicated that compared with healthy controls, overall migraine patients had significantly increased S100B levels in peripheral blood (SMD = 0.688, 95%CI: 0.341-1.036, Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrates that the level of S100B in peripheral blood of patients with migraine was significantly increased. Migraine may be associated with pathological reactions involving S100B, which is instrumental for the clinical diagnosis of migraine and therapy that considers S100B as a potential target.
