Microstructural changes of basal ganglia in migraine with restless legs syndrome: findings from a neuroimaging study.
Article in Sleep and biological rhythms, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In this study, it is planned to investigate the integrity of the basal ganglia structures in migraineurs with restless legs syndrome (RLS) to explore this relationship. In this study, 58 patients who were diagnosed migraine and 51 healthy controls (HCs) were included. Patients diagnosed with migraine were divided into two groups: Group I (migraine without RLS) and Group II (migraine with RLS). The integrity of basal ganglia was evaluated with region of interest diffusion tensor imaging method which allows us to assess microstructural changes of the tissue. The mean age of the patients was 35.98 ± 7.92 years, and the mean age of the HCs was 33.84 ± 11.06. 84.5% (
