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: Targeting metabolic pathways has emerged as a new migraine treatment strategy as researchers realize the critical role metabolism plays in migraine. Activated inflammatory cells undergo metabolic reprogramming and rely on glycolysis to function. The objective of this study was to investigate the glycolysis changes in the experimental model of migraine and the effect of glycolysis inhibitor 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) in the pathophysiology of migraine. Methods: We used a rat model of migraine that triggered migraine attacks by applying inflammatory soup (IS) to the dura and examined changes in glycolysis. 2-DG was used to inhibit glycolysis, and the effects of 2-DG on mechanical ectopic pain, microglial cell activation, calcitonin gene-related peptides (CGRP), c-Fos, and inflammatory factors induced by inflammatory soup were observed. LPS stimulated BV2 cells to establish a model Results: In the experimental model of migraine, key enzymes involved in glycolysis such as phosphofructokinase platelet (PFKP), hexokinase (HK2), hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and pyruvate kinase (PKM2) were expressed in the medullary dorsal horn. While the expression of electronic respiratory transport chain complex IV (COXIV) decreased. There were no significant changes in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), a key enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway. The glycolysis inhibitor 2-DG alleviated migraine-like symptoms in an experimental model of migraine, reduced the release of proinflammatory cytokines caused by microglia activation, and decreased the expression of CGRP and c-Fos. Further experiments Conclusion: The migraine rat model showed enhanced glycolysis. This study suggests that glycolytic inhibitor 2-DG is an effective strategy for alleviating migraine-like symptoms. Glycolysis inhibition may be a new target for migraine treatment.
