The association between dietary fiber intake and severe headaches or migraine in US adults.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: The data on the effect of dietary fiber on severe headaches or migraine are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between dietary fiber intake and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraine. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study involving 12,710 participants, all data collected from NHANES 1999-2004. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between dietary fiber intake (as an independent variable) and severe headaches or migraine (as outcome variable). We also performed sensitivity analyses, including multiple sensitivity analyses. Results: The overall incidence of severe headache or migraine in the study was 2527/12,710 (19.9%). After adjusting for correlation covariates, we found a significant inverse association between dietary fiber intake and severe headache or migraine, with lowest prevalence in the fifth quintile (OR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.61-0.90). Our study also revealed that for every 10 g/day increase in dietary fiber intake, the prevalence of severe headache or migraine decreased by 11%. However, no such inverse association was found among Mexican Americans, other races, or those with a body mass index (BMI) of 25-30. Conclusion: Increasing the intake of fiber-rich foods might protect from severe headache or migraine. More prospective studies should be conducted to confirm their association before dietary recommendations.
