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
Purpose: During the non-attack period, people with migraine may show retinal dysfunction. This study builds on previous work by exploring the possibility of foveal and non-foveal visual field and electroretinographic deficits and determining the overlap in eccentricity of such localized visual deficits in people with migraine. Methods: Visual fields and multifocal electroretinography (mf-ERG) were tested in 27 people with migraine (aged 19-45 years) and 18 non-headache controls (aged 20-46 years). Data were averaged according to 5 concentric rings at < 1.5 degrees (foveal) and 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15.5 degrees, and 22 degrees eccentricities (non-foveal). Linear mixed effects modelling was used to predict mf-ERG amplitude, mf-ERG peak time, and visual field sensitivity with fixed effects of eye, group, and eccentricity. Results: Foveal mf-ERG responses, and visual field sensitivity across all eccentricities (foveal and non-foveal) were similar between the migraine and control groups (P > 0.05). In contrast, the non-foveal mf-ERG was reduced in amplitude in people with migraine relative to controls (P < 0.001), and this group difference depended on eccentricity (P < 0.001) - most prominently, in the parafoveal region (ring 2, P = 0.001). Conclusions: Retinal electrophysiological deficits were observed in people with migraine in the parafoveal region (between 1.5 degrees and 5 degrees eccentricity), without corresponding visual field deficits. This suggests a spatially localized area of retinal neuronal dysfunction in people with migraine that is insufficient to manifest as a visual field sensitivity loss using standard perimetric methods. Our study highlights the added confound of migraine when conducting standard clinical retinal electrophysiological tests for conditions such as glaucoma, particularly non-foveally.
