Association Between Dietary Alcohol Intake and Migraine or Severe Headache Miscellaneous Pain: The NHANES 1999-2004.
Article in Brain and behavior, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe relationship between alcohol consumption and migraine or severe headache remains controversial in the existing literature. Given that alcohol is a widely consumed beverage, clarifying the relationship between alcohol and migraine or severe headaches can help manage the patient's condition.
aimThis study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between alcohol consumption and migraine or severe headache.
methodsEmploying National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database records spanning March 1999 to December 2004, our analysis encompassed threshold effects, smoothed curve fitting, and multivariate logistic regression to elucidate the relationship between alcohol consumption level and migraine or severe headaches. We utilized subgroup analyses and interaction tests to explore the stability of this relationship across different stratified populations.
resultsA total of 13,083 subjects were enrolled. The odds of migraine or severe headache decreased with increasing dietary alcohol intake. This was more pronounced in the older and male subgroups.
conclusionsThere was a significant negative association between dietary alcohol intake and the odds of having migraine or severe headache.
