White matter alterations in cluster headache identified using PSMD analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This study aimed to investigate white matter microstructural changes in patients with cluster headaches using peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD) derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). A total of 40 participants were recruited, comprising 20 patients with newly diagnosed cluster headaches and 20 healthy controls. DTI was conducted using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. PSMD was quantified through a standardized multi-step process involving preprocessing, skeletonization, application of a custom mask, and histogram analysis performed with the FSL program. PSMD values were compared between the cluster headache group and the healthy controls, and correlation analyses were performed to examine association between PSMD and clinical factors. Patients with cluster headaches demonstrated significantly higher PSMD values than healthy controls (0.273 × 10
