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
Migraine is characterized by severe pain and somatic symptoms like allodynia and photophobia, driven by neuroinflammation that sensitizes the trigeminal vascular system (TVS). This study investigated how neuroinflammation induced by systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) affects migraine-related nociceptive signaling. Using a chronic migraine model in rats with nitroglycerin (NTG), we compared prenatal and acute postnatal LPS administration. Rats with prenatal LPS exhibited lower mechanical thresholds and enhanced allodynia and photophobia after NTG. Acute LPS also increased allodynia, but not photophobia. Both LPS groups showed increased mast cell degranulation in the dura mater. Plasma CGRP after NTG administration was elevated in the acute LPS group. Electrophysiology revealed enhanced trigeminal afferent responses to serotonin in both acutely and prenatally LPS-treated rats. Calcium imaging demonstrated increased neuronal responses to serotonin and capsaicin, suggesting an upregulation of serotonin and TRPV1 receptors. Our findings show that LPS-induced neuroinflammation, whether prenatal or acute, promotes sensitization of peripheral and central nociceptive pathways, involving serotoninergic mechanisms.
