The Potential Link Between Abdominal Migraine and Chronic Apical Periodontitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
According to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third edition (ICHD-3), abdominal migraine is a diagnosis of exclusion, characterized by recurrent abdominal pain accompanied by nausea, vomiting, anorexia, or pallor. We report a case of a 44-year-old female with abdominal migraine associated with chronic apical periodontitis. Treatment with root canal therapy and periodontal management improved both the oral condition and migraine symptoms. Chronic periodontitis may contribute to migraines via systemic inflammation and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-mediated neurovascular mechanisms. This case underscores the importance of dental practitioners identifying and managing periodontal conditions to address potential systemic effects and multifactorial orofacial pain.
