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

Migraine is one of the most common neurological disorders and the second most disabling human condition. The molecular mechanisms of migraine have been linked to neuropeptide release, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress and inflammatory processes. Acid sphingomyelinase (aSMase) is a secreted enzyme that leads to sphingomyelin degradation to produce ceramide. Its activity has been associated with several molecular processes involved in migraine. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aims to study the potential role of aSMase in patients with episodic and chronic migraine. In this cross-sectional pilot study, serum samples from female healthy controls (n = 23), episodic migraine (EM) patients (n = 31), and chronic migraine (CM) patients (n = 28) were studied. The total serum levels of aSMase were determined by ELISA. In addition, the serum levels of sphingomyelin (SM), dihydro-sphingomyelin (dhSM), ceramide (Cer), and dihydro-ceramide (dhCer) were determined by mass spectrometry as biomarkers involved in the main molecular pathways associated with aSMase. aSMase serum levels were found significantly elevated in both EM (3.62 ± 1.25 ng/mL) and CM (3.07 ± 0.95 ng/mL) compared with controls (1.58 ± 0.72 ng/mL) (
