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

backgroundThe asymmetry of cortical veins in susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in MRI might be a biomarker for migraine auras and cortical spreading depression (CSD). The aim of this study was to assess in humans if SWI asymmetry can be found in patients who have migraine attacks without auras.

methodsWe included patients (

resultsIn the migraines with auras group, SWI asymmetry was found in 26% (95% CI 18-35) compared to patients with migraines without auras (3%, [95% CI 1-8],

conclusionsThe distinct SWI changes in migraines with and without auras suggest that CSD might not be involved in the pathophysiology of migraines without auras.
