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

introductionMigraine is a major cause of disability in India, disproportionately affecting women and adolescents. Although traditional pharmacological treatments exist, side effects and poor adherence have increased interest in non-pharmacological options such as remote electrical neuromodulation (REN). However, clinical adoption of REN remains limited because of the absence of clear, India-specific guidelines.

methodsAn Indian consensus was developed through a two-phase Delphi process involving 49 neurologists. Phase 1 included a scientific committee of eight neurologists who conducted a targeted literature review on REN and formulated 27 consensus statements. In phase 2, 41 neurologists from across India participated in modified Delphi rounds to finalize these statements.

resultsStatements achieving over 60% agreement identified REN as a promising and well-tolerated non-pharmacological therapy that addresses limitations of current migraine treatments. High consensus (75-97.22%) highlighted REN's favorable safety profile, minimal adverse events, and suitability for adolescents and women of childbearing age.

conclusionThis Indian consensus provides practical guidance for integrating REN into migraine management. The REN device shows potential as a first-line or adjunct therapy, particularly for patients facing challenges with pharmacological treatment adherence, supporting its wider adoption in clinical practice.
