Association between migraine severity and sleep quality: a nationwide cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Background: Migraine is a primary headache disorder that affects more than 1 billion individuals globally and imposes a significant disability burden on society. Although migraine patients commonly experience poor sleep quality, the relationship between migraine and sleep is not yet fully understood. This study therefore aimed to determine the association between sleep quality and migraine severity. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,399 participants across all regions of Saudi Arabia from August to October 2023 using standardized questionnaires. Participants were categorized into patients with migraine and non-migraine patients, according to the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria. This study utilized The Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate migraine severity and sleep quality, respectively. Results: The prevalence of migraine was 25%, while poor sleep quality was evident in 42.4% of the patients. No significant difference in PSQI scores was observed between patients with migraine and non-migraine patients ( Conclusion: These findings suggest a notable correlation between poor sleep quality and increased migraine severity, emphasizing the importance of addressing sleep disturbance as a potential strategy to mitigate migraine severity and improve patient outcomes.
