Rate and Predictors of Intractable Status Migrainosus among Patients Aged 13-18 Years.

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
Purpose: To assess associations for intractable status migrainosus in the pediatric inpatient setting. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 1,805 patients presenting to the pediatric hospital in Dayton, Ohio with status migrainosus from 2017 to 2022, was performed. Among 1,805 patients, 159 received 3 lines of sequentially more aggressive abortive migraine treatment and were included in this analysis. Responders and non-responders were categorized based on a visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain scores from time of admission to discharge with responders having a reduction of 50% or greater in VAS. Patient demographic information, migraine history, headache type, medication history, self-reported pain, anxiety level and co-morbidities were assessed. Results: Out of 159 patients, 125 (78.6%) achieved the target pain control with decrease in VAS pain score by ≥ 50% from the baseline. The remaining 34/159 (21.4%) patients remained refractory to treatment. Non-responder patients had a longer hospital stay (6.1 days) and greater readmission rate within 7 days (17.6%) compared to responders (4.7 days and .8% respectively). Among the non-responder patients, 14/34 (41.2%) had attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to the responder group in which 17/125 (13.6%) had ADHD. Among patients who had comorbidity of anxiety, non-responders had greater severe generalized anxiety disorder (GAD-7 ≥15) (6/14, 42.9%) than responders (2/39, 5.1%). Conclusion: ADHD and severe GAD are associated with poorer response to treatment in pediatric patients with refractory migraine admitted for inpatient therapy. This study highlights the prolonged hospital stay and modest clinical outcomes seen with intractable migraine in 13-18-year-old pediatric patients.
