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
Purpose: Migraine without aura is the most common type of the condition, whereas migraine with aura is substantially less common. Several features of aura symptoms may help us to define a different management approach. The aim of the study is to describe the characteristics of migraine aura and assess its impact on the daily lives of Polish patients. The characteristics assessed included type and severity of aura as well as the risk of migraine chronification. Methods: The study included a group of 111 (87.4% female and 12.6% male) consecutive patients from the Headache Treatment Outpatient Clinic at Bielański Hospital in Warsaw diagnosed with episodic (72%) and chronic (28%) migraine with and without aura. The patients were diagnosed according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition of the International Headache Society. Results: The final analysis was performed on the selected 28 patients (22 female and 6 male) with migraine with aura. Three patients with aura were diagnosed with chronic migraine. Twelve percent of all 111 migraine patients had migraine attacks both with and without aura. The most common (86%) aura type was the typical aura. Conclusions: The study confirms that visual symptoms are the most common manifestation of aura among the patients studied. In some cases, the visual symptoms can be accompanied by other features of the typical migraine aura such as paraesthesia and speech disturbances. Other types of aura, such as vestibular and hemiplegic symptoms, occur very rarely. Only 10.7% of patients with migraine with aura transformed into the chronic type of the disease in comparison to 33.7% of patients with migraine without aura.
