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

Migraine prevalence has risen over the last few decades, which may be attributed to lifestyle changes. Epistaxis is unusual in migraine. Here we present a case series of four patients, who are presented with headaches associated with epistaxis. A detailed history revealed cardinal symptoms of migraine according to the International Headache Society, including hemicranial throbbing headache of moderate to severe intensity lasting for a duration of four to 72 hours, along with associated features of nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. Investigations, including ENT (ear, nose, and throat) examination, nasal endoscopy, gastroscopy, bronchoscopy, hematological, and coagulation parameters, were negative. All patients were started on prophylactic treatment for migraine, and they responded well. Epistaxis occurs at the peak of headache following which symptoms tend to resolve. The pathophysiology behind this is stimulation of the trigeminovascular system leading to dilatation of external and internal carotid arteries.
