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

Migraine is a prevalent disabling neurovascular condition with a high burden on society. The association between migraine and metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is unclear. In this manuscript, we reviewed the association between migraine and T2DM. Results are summarized descriptively, and potential mechanisms are discussed. Included studies were cross-sectional (n = 6), case-control (n = 1), or cohort (n = 4). A mixed association between migraine and T2DM was reported: positive, inverse, and no association. Association between migraine and T2DM was suggested to follow an age-related trend: positive association in younger age, and negative in older age. Diabetes is associated with lifestyle modification, impaired vasodilation, neuropathy, and reduced calcitonin gene-related peptide, which might result in reduced headache. A rigorous cohort study with long follow-up is needed to establish the nature and strength of the association between migraine and T2DM.
