Case Report: Tadpole pupil and concurrent migraine in an adolescent patient is a novel correlation.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Tadpole pupil is a rare phenomenon characterized by a brief and irregular deformation of the pupil caused by segmental contraction of the iris dilator muscle. It is most prevalent in adult women and is, in these cases, often associated with migraine. Case presentation: We present a unique case of a 16-year-old girl who presented with recurrent episodes of tadpole pupil and vestibular migraine. This association has not been previously demonstrated in pediatric patients. During a thorough clinical examination, a thyroid carcinoma was found which due to its localization was not causative of the tadpole pupil and was considered an incidental finding. Conclusions: The association between migraine and tadpole pupil in this patient, which has not previously been described in pediatric patients, adds to the demographics of tadpole pupil. A possible pathophysiological link between the two conditions is discussed but further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology underpinning it.
