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 complex neurovascular disorder with a multifactorial pathophysiology involving genetic, metabolic, and environmental factors. Increasing evidence indicates that oxidative stress plays a key role in the development of migraine; however, it is unclear whether oxidative imbalance acts primarily as a causal factor or occurs as a consequence of migraine-related processes. Oxidative stress, defined as an imbalance between reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defense mechanisms, contributes to neuronal hyperexcitability, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation-key mechanisms underlying migraine pathogenesis. Studies have shown elevated markers of oxidative damage and altered antioxidant enzyme activity in migraine patients. Simultaneously, metabolic and inflammatory changes associated with migraine may further exacerbate oxidative imbalance, suggesting a bidirectional relationship. Furthermore, genetic factors such as
