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
Introduction: Migraine is one of the common neurovascular disorders characterized by persistent headaches ranging from moderate to severe pain. It has a high prevalence affecting more than one billion population each year across the world and has high morbidity, especially among young adults and females. The exact cause and mechanism of the migraine is unknown. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of migraine among patients presenting with headaches to the Department of Internal Medicine in a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Internal Medicine in a tertiary care centre from 1 August 2022 to 31 October 2022. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee. All the patients presenting to the Department of Internal Medicine with headaches as primary complaints were included. Patients with incomplete information and altered sensorium were excluded. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 69 patients, the prevalence of migraine was 13 (18.84%) (9.61-28.07, 95% Confidence Interval). Of those diagnosed with migraine headaches, 4 (30.77%) were male patients, and 9 (69.23%) were female patients. The mean age of diagnosis of migraine headache was 30±11.5 years. Conclusions: The prevalence of migraine among patients presenting with headaches to the Department of Internal Medicine was found to be higher than in the other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: aura; headache; migraine; prevalence.
