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

Background and Objectives: To examine the association between genetic risk of migraine and post-traumatic headache (PTH) in children. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a cohort study that recruited children aged 8-17 years within 48 hours of concussion or orthopedic injury (OI) from 5 pediatric emergency departments and followed them for 6 months. Genetic risk of migraine was estimated through (1) family history of migraine, (2) polygenic risk scores (PRSs), and (3) forty individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). PTH was categorized as: no PTH (no PTH), PTH nonmigraine phenotype (PTH-NM), or PTH migraine phenotype. Ordinal regression models with cluster-adjusted standard errors and restricted cubic splines were used to estimate associations between genetic risk of migraine and increasing severity of PTH (no PTH vs PTH-NM vs PTH migraine phenotype), adjusting for injury type (concussion vs OI), age, sex, time since injury, first principal component, deprivation indices, concussion history, and preinjury headache history. Results: The sample included 646 children (median [interquartile range] age = 12.38 [10.52-14.41] years, including 436 (67.5%) with concussion. Family history of migraine was associated with increasing severity of PTH in 2/5 models (rs7684253 model: χ Discussion: Four migraine susceptibility genetic variants were associated with PTH, as was family history of migraine in some models, but a migraine PRS was not.
