Exploring the Link Between Inflammatory Biomarkers (SII, SIRI, PLR, NLR, LMR) and Migraine in Young and Early Middle-Aged US Adults: Evidence From NHANES 1999-2004 and Machine Learning Models.
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 2 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
backgroundMigraines are a prevalent neurological condition that significantly impacts quality of life, but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and migraine prevalence in young and early middle-aged Americans. The inflammatory biomarkers considered include the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), and Lymphocyte-to-Monocyte Ratio (LMR).
methodsData from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2004 were utilized for this investigation. Subgroup analysis, smooth curve fitting, and multivariable logistic regression were employed to evaluate associations. Boruta's algorithm, alongside nine machine learning models, was applied to identify key features. SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) values were used to interpret the leading models and highlight influential features.
resultsThe study revealed no significant differences in SII, SIRI, NLR, or PLR between individuals with and without migraines. However, a significantly higher LMR was observed in individuals with migraines (mean difference: 0.37, p < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated a strong positive correlation between LMR and migraine risk across multiple models (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.14-2.00, p = 0.009). No significant associations were found for the other inflammatory biomarkers. Subgroup analyses further confirmed that the positive correlation between LMR and migraine risk remained consistent across different strata. Threshold effect analysis revealed a stable linear relationship between LMR and migraine risk up to a value of 1.61. Among the nine machine learning models, the LightGBM model exhibited the highest AUROC (0.9198), recall (93.3%), F1-score (0.896), and MCC (0.702).
conclusionsLMR may serve as a potential biomarker for assessing migraine risk, offering support for early diagnosis and personalized intervention strategies.
