Usefulness of the ID-Migraine Screening Tool for Diagnosing Migraines in Patients With Headache and Facial Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Journal of rhinology : official journal of the Korean Rhinologic Society, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesA substantial proportion of patients presenting with sinus headaches are ultimately diagnosed with migraines. The ID-Migraine tool has been developed to aid in identifying migraine patients in primary care settings. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of validation studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of the ID-Migraine tool.
methodsData were extracted regarding true positives, false positives, true negatives, and false negatives, along with study characteristics. Methodological quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool.
resultsIn total, 30 studies involving 9,942 participants were included in the final analysis. The pooled diagnostic odds ratio for the ID-Migraine tool was 13.84. The area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.846. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.865 and 0.702, respectively, while the negative predictive value was 0.791 and the positive predictive value was 0.799.
conclusionThe ID-Migraine screening tool is highly accurate and user-friendly for identifying migraines among patients presenting with sinus headaches. By employing this tool, unnecessary diagnostic tests or treatments can be minimized, and patients can be promptly referred to appropriate specialists.
