Saccadometry Findings in Migraine Patients Without Aura.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
includingMigraine without aura is a common neurological disorder associated with structural and functional changes in the brain, which may lead to impairments in cognitive control and motor function. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has demonstrated changes in cortical gray matter volume associated with pain and ocular function in patients with migraine without aura.
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate prosaccade and antisaccade eye movements in patients with migraine without aura (MWOA) and determine whether the saccadometry test is an effective tool for identifying cognitive control and executive dysfunctions in these individuals.
methodsThis study included 40 patients diagnosed with migraine without aura (MWOA) and 40 healthy controls. Prosaccade and anti-saccade eye movements were evaluated using a saccadometry test. The evaluation parameters were the latency, velocity, accuracy, overall error percentage, and directional error percentage.
resultsThe MWOA group performed worse on antisaccadic tasks compared to the control group. The MWOA group exhibited elevated overall and directional error rates, prolonged latency, and diminished accuracy (p = 0.0001) and velocity (p = 0.001) in comparison to the control group. No significant differences were seen in latency, velocity, and accuracy values for prosaccadic movements (p > 0.05), however general and directional error rates were significantly elevated (p = 0.014).
conclusionThis study shows that migraine patients without aura experience difficulties in cognitive control and executive functions in antisaccadic eye movement tasks. Although prosaccade reflexive eye movements were generally preserved, significant difficulties were found in directional control and error suppression during the task. Our findings emphasize the potential for saccadometry to be an effective tool for assessing these impairments. The results may contribute to the development of more targeted treatment strategies for MWOA patients.
