Diagnosing migraine in children and adolescence using ID migraine: results of an Italian multicenter validation.

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
backgroundSince migraine is the most frequent neurological condition, an early diagnosis is important to limit the impact of the disease on the quality of life. Although migraine diagnosis is based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (ICHD3) criteria, other briefer questionnaires have been developed, especially for screening purpose. While the three-item ID Migraine has proved useful for migraine diagnosis in adulthood, no validated tools are available for children and adolescents. The aim of this study is to validate ID Migraine also in pediatric patients.
resultsThe Italian ID Migraine for adulthood was completed by 289 pediatric patients (mean age 12.14 ± 3.15, range 6-17) who attended three third-level pediatric headache centers. Clinical and neurological examinations were performed, and the final diagnosis was reached according to the ICHD3 criteria. The migraine group consisted of 230 patients, and the control group consisted of 59 patients who received headache diagnoses different from migraine. We considered the ID migraine positive whether 2 out of 3 responses were 'yes'. ID migraine for diagnosis of pediatric migraine showed a sensitivity of 0.86 (86%), a specificity of 0.95 (95%), a positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.98 (98%) and a negative predictive value (NPV) 0.64 (64%).
conclusionID Migraine can be considered a valid tool for migraine diagnosis also in pediatric age, starting from the age of 6 years.
