Is canonical SD a clinically relevant model of migraine? Argument pro.
Review in The journal of headache and pain, 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
Migraine with aura is a phenotypically heterogeneous disorder characterized by scintillating scotoma, sensory, language, and/or motor disturbance often followed by a severe headache, and cutaneous allodynia. Cortical spreading depression (SD), a neuro-glial slowly propagating depolarizing wave, is the likely electrical event responsible for aura and a headache trigger. While clinical and preclinical observations support these relationships, there remains controversy over the role of SD as a model of migraine. This article as part of a series of debate articles will focus on data supporting SD as a model of migraine given the relationship of SD to migraine with aura, the evidence for SD as a trigger for trigeminal pain and SD and its downstream events as targets for migraine therapeutic intervention. Taken together, the bounty of evidence suggests SD has face, construct and predictive validity for migraine and can be used as a robust and reliable model of migraine with aura.
