Cohort profile and representativeness of participants in the Danish monozygotic twin study on migraine.

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
The Danish Monozygotic Twin Study on Migraine is a population-based twin study established in 2023-2024. The cohort was created to lay the foundation for innovative studies of the role of environmental, genetic, and epigenetic factors and their complex interactions in the pathogenesis of migraine. The aim of this paper is to describe data collection, content, characteristics of participants and to assess the representativeness of the cohort by comparing participants to non-responders. Danish monozygotic twins born between 1967 and 2000 were invited to participate. Self-reported questionnaires were sent out to 9,036 possible participants. The questionnaires assessed migraine and migraine subtypes, life satisfaction, resilience, stress, childhood trauma and the relationship of the participant to their family. Through linkage to the nationwide Danish registries the cohort contains individual level information on education, income, patient data from hospitals, prescription medication and childbirth. The Danish registries also enable longitudinal data collection on health outcomes. Individuals who responded to the migraine questionnaire were defined as participants. The cohort consists of 3,893 individuals, including 1,822 complete twin pairs, 1,173 individuals with migraine and 280 migraine discordant twin pairs. 123 participants were included in a substudy with a migraine diagnostic interview and collection of blood samples for both genetic and epigenetic studies. Comparison between participants and non-responders showed a higher participation rate among women. For both genders participants were older, had a higher level of education and a higher level of income compared to non-responders. Sociodemographic differences in participation should be considered to avoid biased estimates in future studies based on the cohort.
