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: Despite available diagnostic and therapeutic options, a major unmet need persists in migraine care. This study applied artificial intelligence (AI) to extract structured insights from routine care and assess migraine burden, diagnosis, and treatment in Türkiye. Methods: The Türkiye Migraine Registry Study was a retrospective, observational study across 23 hospitals and clinics in eight cities. Anonymized electronic health records (EHRs) of 11,023 adults treated between January 2021 and October 2023 were analyzed. A validated AI framework with natural language processing and machine learning extracted demographics, comorbidities, imaging, and prescriptions. Descriptive statistics summarized outcomes. Results: Of 90,381 neurology patients, 16,751 (18.5%) had migraine or suspected migraine; 11,023 met inclusion. Only 46.9% carried an ICD-10 migraine code, while 53.1% were coded under other headache syndromes yet frequently received migraine-specific therapies. The cohort was 73% female, mean age 41.5. Neuroimaging was frequent (58.7% MRI, 15.2% CT), and 18.4% visited emergency care. Preventive therapy was prescribed to 63.7%, mainly antidepressants (31.4%) and beta-blockers (19.4%). OnabotulinumtoxinA and CGRP monoclonal antibodies were used in 10.3 and 3.4%. Conclusion: AI-assisted EHR analysis revealed underdiagnosis, high imaging use, and limited adoption of mechanism-specific preventives in Türkiye, underscoring the need for improved diagnostic accuracy and broader access to modern therapies.
