Factors Impacting the Telephone Follow-Up Response Rate in Patients With Migraine Without Aura: A Cross-Sectional Study of 1299 Females.
Article in Pain research & management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe out-of-hospital management of migraineurs is an important part of migraine treatment. Telephone follow-up is a commonly used method. To explore the factors impacting the response rate of follow-up by telephone in migraineurs, 1299 female patients with migraine without aura (MwoA) from the headache outpatient database were followed.
methodsThe corresponding information, including demographic factors, call time (morning, afternoon, or evening), call day (working day or weekend), and headache-related factors was collected and analyzed.
resultsAmong the 1299 eligible female patients with MwoA, 821 (63.2%) responded (positive response, PR), and among them, 204 (24.8%) contacted us initiatively after follow-up (feedback response, FR). Age < 45 (p = 0.034), calling in the morning (p = 0.005), and nonthrobbing headache (p = 0.037) were factors related to PR. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that age < 35 (OR 1.480, p = 0.007), 35 ≤ age < 45 (OR 1.466, p = 0.009), call in the morning (OR 1.487, p = 0.010), headache course ≥ 6 years (OR 1.363, p = 0.017), and no aggravation by activity (OR 1.525, p = 0.048) were related to PR. The analysis of factors influencing FR indicated that age < 40 (p < 0.001), high education level (p = 0.043), age at onset < 25 (p < 0.001), and more accompanying symptoms (p = 0.050) were related to FR. The multivariate logistic analysis suggested that living in a first-tier city (OR 1.977, p = 0.015), age at onset < 25 (OR 1.499, p = 0.025), age < 40 (OR 1.531, p = 0.025), and accompanying symptom score = 3 (OR 1.787, p = 0.039) were related to FR.
conclusionsAge, headache course, call time, and headache-related factors were associated with the response rate for migraineurs. Residence in first-tier cities was associated with a higher observed probability of feedback response. Age, follow-up time, city of residence, and advance notification may be factors worth considering when designing a personalized follow-up plan to optimize the response rate among female migraineurs.
