Daily light exposure habits of youth with migraine: A prospective pilot study.
Article in Research square, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Photophobia is a common symptom in youth with migraine, but it is unknown if it leads to light avoidant behavior, and if such behaviors worsen disease burden. We conducted a feasibility study between November and March 2024 measuring light exposure using wearable light logger pendants in 20 youth with migraine (10-21 years old) while migraine symptoms were tracked with a text-based daily diary. On average, participants received recommended light exposure during only 14.5% +/- SD 7.0 of daylight hours but were consistently below the recommended maximum light levels 3 hours prior to bed (77.5% +/- 21.6 of the time), and at night (99.1% +/- 2.9 of the time). Daily light exposure patterns that were phase shifted 60 minutes later in youth with chronic (compared to non-chronic) migraine. Measuring daily light exposure is feasible in pediatric populations with photophobia and reveals intriguing trends that warrant further study.
