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

backgroundEmerging evidence suggests that disturbances in lipid metabolism play a significant role in the etiology of migraines. However, the relationship between lipid metabolism disturbances and medication overuse headache (MOH) remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the association between elevated triglyceride (TG) levels and the occurrence of MOH among patients with chronic migraine (CM).

methodsA total of 267 hospitalized individuals diagnosed with CM were enrolled into the study. The participants were divided into two distinct groups based on the presence or absence of MOH. Questionnaires were employed for gathering demographic data, and a systematic inquiry was conducted to ascertain the overall prevalence of headaches. The laboratory examination, anxiety and depression scale, Pittsburgh sleep quality index, and other components were used to evaluate improvement. Initially, the study data underwent univariate analysis, whereby indicators demonstrating statistical significance (

resultsThe cohort included a total of 87 patients without MOH and 180 patients with MOH. The following five risk variables emerged via single-factor analysis (

conclusionsElevated TG levels may be associated with MOH in patients with CM, underscoring their importance in the diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic management of patients with CM.
