Personalized machine learning prediction of next-day migraine persistence using digital headache diary data.
Article in Headache, 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
OBJECTIVES/
backgroundMigraine is a disabling neurological disorder with substantial interindividual variability. Predicting whether an ongoing migraine attack will persist into the following day remains challenging. We evaluated the feasibility and predictive performance of personalized machine learning models for predicting next-day migraine persistence using longitudinal digital headache diary data.
methodsThis prospective longitudinal cohort study was designed for prognostic prediction model development. Participants were recruited from two medical centers in Taiwan between February 2023 and October 2023, and each completed a 3-month digital headache diary observation period. Patients with 5-14 monthly headache days were included. Same-day diary records from index migraine days were used to predict next-day migraine persistence. Personalized and generalized models were developed using k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine, random forest, and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). Model performance was evaluated using discrimination, calibration, and sensitivity analyses.
resultsA total of 25 patients were included. Compared with the generalized KNN model, the personalized KNN model achieved significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) (0.83 ± 0.09 vs. 0.63 ± 0.04; ΔAUC = 0.20). Among personalized models, KNN also outperformed support vector machine, random forest, and eXtreme gradient boosting, with ΔAUC values of 0.23, 0.15, and 0.16, respectively; the corresponding Holm-adjusted p-values were <0.001, 0.003, and <0.001. The personalized KNN model showed the lowest Brier score (0.13 ± 0.04), with a calibration intercept of 0.08 and calibration slope of 0.80. Ablation analysis indicated that the KNN model performance was most sensitive to the removal of pain intensity, menstrual cycle status, perceived medication effectiveness, and pain location, with pain intensity showing the largest effect.
conclusionPersonalized machine learning models based on digital headache diary data may feasibly predict next-day persistence of ongoing migraine. Larger external validation studies are needed to confirm model generalizability and clinical applicability.
