Microvascular involvement in migraine: an optical coherence tomography angiography study.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2023. 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the microvasculature of the macula and the optic nerve in patients affected by migraine with aura (MA) and without aura (MO) by optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA), comparing the findings with healthy controls (HC).
methodsWe collected data from ocular and orthotic examinations, including eye motility, intraocular pressure measurement, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) measurement, objective refraction measurement, fundus examination, macular and optic disk OCTA examination. All subjects were imaged with solix fullrange OCT. The following OCTA parameters were recorded: macular vessel density (VD), inside disc VD, peripapillary VD, disc whole image VD, fovea choriocapillaris VD, fovea VD, parafovea VD, peripapillary thickness, fovea thickness, parafovea thickness, macular full retinal thickness, and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters. Clinical and demographical data about migraine patients were collected by a neurologist.
resultsWe included 56 eyes from 28 patients with a diagnosis of MO, 32 eyes from 16 patients with a diagnosis of MA, and 32 eyes from 16 HC subjects. The FAZ area was 0.230 ± 0.099 mm
conclusionAn impairment of retinal microcirculation can be detected in patients with MA, as demonstrated by the enlargement of FAZ. Moreover, the study of choroid circulation may reveal microvascular damage in patients with migraine with aura. OCTA is a useful non-invasive screening tool for the detection of microcirculatory disturbance in patients with migraine.
