Migraine and its association with pubertal maturation and behavioral traits among adolescent girls.

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
objectiveTo determine if the ages at pubertal milestones are associated with the prevalence of adolescent migraine.
backgroundMigraine headaches are a common disease in adolescent girls. Past studies have evaluated the relationship between age of onset of menarche and migraine headache, but none have studied earlier pubertal milestones such as thelarche and pubarche.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, a previously validated questionnaire was administered to girls (15-18 years) in Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Program puberty cohort to ascertain if they met criteria for migraine over the past year. Ages of pubertal development were ascertained by serial examinations beginning at 6-8 years of age and ending in late puberty. Logistic regression analyses determined if age of onset of each pubertal milestone (thelarche, pubarche, menarche separately) was associated with adolescent migraine after adjusting for other risk factors.
resultsOf 761girls, 222 (29.2%) met the criteria for migraine. Later thelarche was associated with a lower odds of adolescent migraine (OR 0.83; 95% CI 0.72-0.97, p = 0.019). In models further adjusted for BASC-2 internalizing problems (n = 490), both later thelarche (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.64-0.96, p = 0.016) and later menarche (OR 0.81; 95%CI 0.67-0.98, p = 0.026) were associated with a lower migraine prevalence. Internalizing problems (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.03-1.07) externalizing problems (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.02-1.07) and behavioral symptoms (OR 1.05; 95% CI 1.03-1.08) were associated with increased prevalence of migraine in separate models.
conclusionsAge of onset of thelarche and menarche, and internalizing, externalizing, and behavioral symptoms were all associated with adolescent migraine.
