1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Migraine is a common headache disorder that adversely affects quality of life. It is usually considered a chronic lifelong disorder. Although several treatments are available, their benefits need to be considered with knowledge of potential side-effects and it is rare for people with migraine to be free of attacks. There are some well known dietary and lifestyle triggers of migraine and patients are usually keen to explore lifestyle approaches to manage the condition. Given the lack of high quality studies, physicians tend not to emphasize these lifestyle approaches. Therefore, many patients are left to explore these options for themselves. There is a growing body of evidence to support the role of a healthy diet, along with elimination of alcohol and reduction in coffee intake, in the prevention and treatment of migraine. Here, we report 3 cases of the successful treatment of migraine using a whole food plant-based diet, resulting in significant reduction or elimination of medication use.
