1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: The 12-item Utah Photophobia Symptom Impact Scale (UPSIS-12) is a questionnaire to assess the impact of photophobia on daily living during and outside migraine episodes. We aimed to translate UPSIS-12 and assess its usability in the Turkish cohort by analyzing internal consistency, reliability, and reproducibility. Methods: In this multicenter prospective, descriptive study, 120 patients with migraine were recruited. The patients received the diagnosis of migraine without aura (MwoA) and migraine with aura (MwA) according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition. The scale was translated into Turkish, and the patients were evaluated by headache experts in two visits four weeks apart from each other. Results: The questionnaire showed highly correlated test-retest reliability (r=0.828). Cronbach alpha values of internal consistency revealed good to excellent results ranging from 0.78-0.82. There was a strong and positive correlation between self and physician-administered scales at both visits (r=0.964 and 0.985, respectively). The questionnaire was considered "well understood" by 95.6% of the patients. The average UPSIS-12 score of each visit was 25.8 and 26.9 (average standard deviation of 10.4). Subjects with MwoA (25.5±10.4) had remarkably lower mean scores compared to MwoA plus MwA (29.2±8.9) and MwA (32.9±9.4) (p=0.0167). Patients with high frequency migraine presented with a higher mean UPSIS-12 score than those with low frequency (31.3±9.5 and 24.7±9.8, respectively). It was noted that the mean UPSIS-12 scores of those with severe (29.4±9.4) and moderate ictal cutaneous allodynia (CA) (28.4±10.6) were higher than those without CA (22.0±9.3)(p=0.020). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the UPSIS-12 questionnaire is a reliable tool and well-understood by the Turkish population. Patients with MwA, frequent migraine headache days and moderate to severe CA presented with higher scores. Given the independent burden of photophobia in migraineurs, the use of UPSIS-12 scale should be encouraged in Turkish population.
