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

backgroundPrior clinical studies suggest a shared mechanism between vestibular symptoms and migraine headache. However, the specific neuroanatomical substrate connecting vestibular symptoms with migraine remains to be largely unknown. Thus, the aim of this study was to further investigate the mechanisms that whether and how trigeminovestibular neurons produce effects on neuronal activation in vestibular nucleus (VN).

methodsA chronic-NTG rat model was established by recurrent intermittent administration of nitroglycerin (NTG). Pain- and vestibular-related behaviors were assessed. To selectively inhibit the glutamatergic neurons and trigeminal nucleus caudalis (TNC) to VN projection neurons, the AAVs encoding engineered Gi-coupled hM4D receptor were administered in the TNC or VN area.

resultsWe identify a glutamatergic projection from TNC to VN that mediates vestibular dysfunction in a chronic-NTG rat model. Inhibition of the Glutamate

conclusionsTogether, we reveal a modulatory role of glutamatergic TNC-VN projection neurons in vestibular dysfunction of migraine.
