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

Introduction: Migraine can occur at any stage of childhood; however, its prevalence increases during school years, affecting various aspects of life, including daily routines and school attendance. Objective: To evaluate the quality of life (QOL) in children and adolescents with migraines. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at several specialized pediatric neurology clinics between 2020 and 2023. Participants were provided with an online questionnaire. The validated Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) for parental reports was applied to evaluate QOL, covering four dimensions: physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. Results: In total, 109 eligible patients were identified, yielding an estimated prevalence of 5.45%. The study population comprised 51% males, with a mean age of onset of 9 ± 3 years. The mean total PedsQL score across all dimensions per participant was 76 ± 17 points. Significant associations were observed for age ( Conclusion: Children and adolescents with migraines exhibit a reduced QOL, particularly in the emotional and school functioning domains. These findings underscore the importance of early screening and management of migraines in pediatric patients.
