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

Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a comorbid association between migraine and epilepsy. However, despite the long history of this association, the exact nature of the relationship between migraine and epilepsy remains largely unresolved. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct a meta-analysis in order to thoroughly investigate the relationship between migraine and epilepsy. Methods: Odds ratios (ORs) or relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) regarding association between migraine and epilepsy were summarized using STATA 12.0 software. Results: There was an 80% increase in the lifetime prevalence of migraine among patients with epilepsy, compared to those without epilepsy with a random effects model (OR/RR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.35 to 2.40, I Conclusions: It is important to note the comorbid association between migraine and epilepsy examined in the study.
