Evaluation of pediatric migraine triggers: a single-center study.
Article in Clinical and experimental pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPediatric migraines are primarily treated with medications. However, recognizing the triggers related to patient behaviors and lifestyle is also important. PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the factors that trigger pediatric migraines.
methodsThis study included 102 pediatric patients with migraine diagnosed using the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders who visited our pediatric headache clinic between November 2021 and October 2022. We reviewed the patients' clinical features, imaging studies, screening tests for behaviors and emotions, and questionnaires regarding triggers. Statistical analyses were performed using the independent sample Student t test and linear-by-linear association test.
resultsThe 102 patients (44 males, 58 females; mean age, 12.0±2.9 years) were classified into migraine without aura (n=58) and migraine with aura (n=44) groups. Sleep disturbances were the most frequent trigger (76.5%). Other triggers included academic stress (66.7%), motion sickness (62.7%), and fatigue (52.9%). Academic stress was the most significant trigger for pain severity in 44.1% of patients. Abnormal behavioral or psychiatric assessment results were associated with a higher number of triggers.
conclusionThis study identified sleep disturbance and academic stress as common triggers of pediatric migraine, with academic stress being the most intense. Clinicians should understand these triggers and advise patients to avoid them by changing their lifestyles, if possible.
