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

While a significant proportion of the population suffer from migraine, the existing research literature does not provide a clear indication as to whether migraineurs experience objective cognitive deficits outside of acute migraine attacks. This meta-analysis was conducted to investigate which cognitive domains if any were affected by migraine, by synthesising the existing research quantitatively. The meta-analysis was prospectively registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (registration no.: CRD42019134138). A search of the electronic databases PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and PsycINFO was conducted for journal articles published between January 1980 and January 2020. Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria, allowing for the calculation of pooled effect sizes between migraineurs (with and without aura) and healthy controls in the several cognitive domains. During the interictal period, migraineurs demonstrated a moderate, negative effect on complex attention immediate and delayed memory, spatial cognition, and executive functioning. This effect was not attributable to migraine history, attack frequency, or participant age. However, the lack of performance validity testing, and limited data on mood symptomatology and migraine medication use in the included studies may be confounds potentially overestimating the magnitude of effect. Comparison with a clinical control group, which may have accounted for some these extraneous variables, was unable to be conducted. Recommendations for comprehensive future neuropsychological research are provided.
