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

Background: The current study was conducted to assess the effect of grape seed extract (GSE) supplementation on inflammatory biomarkers, oxidative stress, clinical symptoms, and quality of life in migraine patients. Materials and Methods: In this randomized double-blinded controlled clinical trial, 50 patients with migraine were randomly allocated to receive either 200 mg/day GSE supplement ( Results: Based on the within-group comparison, patients in the GSE group had a significant reduction in severity, frequency and duration of migraine attacks, HDR, migraine disability, systolic blood pressure, and serum levels of CGRP. GSE group also had better scores in the migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire and mental health questionnaire. When we performed the analysis using the univariate analysis of variance, the effect of GSE on serum CGRP levels (-0.07 ± 0.03 in the GSE group vs. 0.07 ± 0.03 in the placebo group, Conclusion: This study provides evidence supporting the beneficial effects of GSE supplement on the serum levels of CGRP.
