Decreased Serum Uric Acid Level as an Indicator of Altered Oxidative Balance in Patients With Migraine.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
introductionMigraine is one of the most common neurological diseases. The pathophysiology of migraine has not yet been fully elucidated. There is increasing evidence supporting the relationship between oxidative stress and migraine.
methodThis is a retrospective, cross-sectional and observational study. The patients were divided into two groups, episodic migraine and chronic migraine. Episodic migraine patients were divided into two subgroups, migraine with aura and migraine without aura. Serum Albumin, total bilirubin, uric acid levels, and migraine clinical findings were obtained from medical records.
resultsA total of 181 participants, 88 patients and 93 controls, were included in the study. Serum albumin levels were lower in the patient group than in the control group, they did not reach statistical significance (p=0.082). There was no significant difference between the patient and control groups for total bilirubin levels (p=0.785). Serum uric acid levels in the patient group were found to be significantly lower than in the control group (p<0.001). Measured levels were similar in chronic and episodic migraine groups, and migraine with aura and migraine without aura subgroups.
conclusionWe thought this oxidative stress marker may be associated with the presence of migraine, but this is not significant for migraine subtypes and migraine progression.
