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

Abdominal migraine (AM) is a debilitating condition characterized by paroxysmal episodes of abdominal pain accompanied by vasomotor symptoms, leading to a significant reduction in quality of life. While more commonly observed in children, AM is rare and less well understood in adults. Diagnostic criteria for adult AM remain poorly defined, and treatment options, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, have not been extensively evaluated in this population. Pharmacological management may be either prophylactic, aimed at preventing episodes, or abortive, used during acute attacks. Treatment is typically individualized, with a focus on symptom relief and reducing the frequency of attacks. This review summarizes available literature published between 1995 and 2024, with an emphasis on the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and therapeutic strategies for AM in adult patients.
