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

backgroundStudies about the association between bilirubin and migraine were few. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association between serum total bilirubin and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraine.

methodsA multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between serum total bilirubin concentration and severe headaches or migraine. We also performed stratified analyses, interaction analyses and multiple interpolations in the sensitivity analysis.

resultsThis cross-sectional study included 12,552 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2004. The overall incidence of migraine was 19.99% (2,509/12,552). With every 1 mg/dl increase in bilirubin, the prevalence of migraine decreased by 23% (95% CI: 0.64, 0.93) after adjustment of all related covariates. Similarly, the risk of migraine was reduced by 17% (95% CI: 0.72, 0.97) in the Q4 group (the fourth quartile, highest serum total bilirubin level) compared with the Q1 group (the lowest level). Furthermore, interaction effects by age groups were significant in this relationship (P for interaction = 0.0004). In the Q4 group compared with Q1, inverse associations were observed in those aged ≥40 years (OR: 0.71,95% CI: 0.59, 0.85) in the stratified analysis.

conclusionThese findings support an association between serum total bilirubin and severe headaches or migraine, revealing an inverse association between serum total bilirubin quartiles and severe headaches or migraine in American adults. Age could play an important role in this association.
