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
backgroundMigraine is a chronic neurological disorder affecting over one billion individuals globally. It is a leading cause of disability, significantly impacting daily functioning, social relationships and work-related productivity. This study aims to explore the impact of migraine-related disability in everyday life in terms of missed days and productivity loss, as well as to identify work-related difficulties associated with migraine and the potential factors that exacerbate these difficulties.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2023 to June 2024, involving 604 adult patients with migraine in Greece, selected through a convenience sampling method. Data collected included socio-demographic and clinical information, obtained using two validated self-reported questionnaires: the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) and the HEADWORK questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS (Version 20.0), and descriptive statistics, chi-square tests,
resultsThe MIDAS score revealed a high level of disability, with 52.2% of participants classified in the Severe Disability grade. HEADWORK scores highlighted moderate-to-severe work-related difficulties, particularly concerning stress management and environmental factors such as noise and brightness. Females, patients experiencing migraine with aura, and individuals with chronic migraine exhibited higher MIDAS and HEADWORK scores.
conclusionsThis study reveals the substantial impact of migraine on professional productivity and social relationships, emphasizing challenges in work-related performance and daily activities. The findings underscore the need for workplace accommodations and targeted interventions to improve the quality of life of individuals with migraine.
