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

The neurobiological heterogeneity in migraine is poorly studied, resulting in conflicting neuroimaging findings. This study used a newly proposed method based on gray matter volumes (GMVs) to investigate objective neuroanatomical subtypes of migraine. Structural MRI and clinical measures of 31 migraine patients without aura and 33 matched healthy controls (HCs) were explored. Firstly, we investigated whether migraine patients exhibited higher interindividual variability than HCs in terms of GMVs. Then, heterogeneity through discriminative analysis (HYDRA) was applied to categorize migraine patients into distinct subtypes by regional volumetric measures of GMVs. Voxel-wise volume and clinical characteristics among different subtypes were also explored. Migraine patients without aura exhibited higher interindividual GMVs variability. Two distinct and reproducible neuroanatomical subtypes of migraine were revealed. These two subtypes exhibited opposite neuroanatomical aberrances compared to HCs. Subtype 1 showed widespread decreased GMVs, while Subtype 2 showed increased GMVs in limited regions. The total intracranial volume was significantly positively correlated with cognitive function in Subtype 2. Subtype 1 showed significantly longer illness duration and less cognitive scores compared to Subtype 2. The present study shows that migraine patients without aura have high structural heterogeneity and uncovers two distinct and robust neuroanatomical subtypes, which provide a possible explanation for conflicting neuroimaging findings.
