Migraine and the risk of cervical artery dissection: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in European stroke journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
introductionMigraine is a common, disabling chronic pain condition possibly related to changes in endothelial and vascular structure and function. Several observational studies have suggested an elevated risk of cervical artery dissection (CeAD) in patients with a history of migraine. We aimed to investigate this potential association using systematic review and meta-analytic methods. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe utilized a pre-defined search protocol to identify and screen studies related to migraine and CeAD in PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science Core Collection. We assessed the risk of bias and performed a meta-analysis of selected studies to assess the association between migraine and CeAD. We also performed subgroup analyses by migraine subtype, biological sex, and the use of stroke versus non-stroke controls.
resultsWe identified 11 studies ( DISCUSSION AND
conclusionA history of migraine is associated with an increased risk of CeAD. Further studies are needed to elucidate the potential pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying this association.
