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

purposeTo determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with migraine and menstrual migraine in women of reproductive age.

methodThis multicenter cross-sectional study included 2049 women who were successfully contacted between May and December 2023. The data were collected via an online interview method using the Individual Identification Form, which was created by the researchers and consists of three parts.

resultsThe mean age of the study participants was determined to be 24.19 ± 7.76 years. The prevalence of migraine was found to be 16.4%, while the prevalence of menstrual migraine was 56.4%. A statistically significant relationship was identified between migraine diagnosis and a number of variables, including marital status, educational status, employment status, social security status, income status, family type, smoking habits, alcohol consumption and coffee intake (p < 0.05). A statistically significant relationship was found between menstrual headache and marital status, working in a gainful job, presence of social security, income status, family type, smoking, alcohol use and coffee consumption (p < 0.05).

conclusionMany sociodemographic characteristics and habits in women's daily lives are among the risk factors for migraine and menstrual migraine. It is advisable for health professionals to provide comprehensive counseling services to facilitate the adoption of healthy behaviors in relation to these risk factors.
