Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND Migraine, a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headache, significantly impacts individuals worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate migraine prevalence, identify key risk factors, assess the impact on job performance, and explore commonly used management strategies. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study involved corporate sector employees visiting outpatient neurology departments in Pakistan. A questionnaire was developed to quantify the overall burden of migraine. Inferential statistics, including the Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test, were used to evaluate group differences. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to confirm the questionnaire's structural validity. RESULTS The questionnaire showed strong reliability (Cronbach's alpha=0.81) and validity (S-CVI=0.86, KMO=0.82, P<0.001). Migraines significantly impacted job efficiency (p=0.015), with 43.8% experiencing episodes lasting 4 to 8 h. Gender (P=0.012), age (P=0.029), and income (P=0.045) were significantly associated with migraine burden. The most common triggers were stress (27.7%) and sleep deprivation (23.2%), while over-the-counter medication (62.5%) was the most commonly used treatment. Gender (ß=0.23, P=0.012), age (ß=-0.19, P=0.029), and income (ß=-0.17, P=0.045) significantly predicted the migraine burden. A higher migraine burden significantly predicted lower job efficiency (ß=-0.31, P=0.015). CONCLUSIONS Migraines have a significant impact on job efficiency in the Pakistani corporate sector, necessitating comprehensive management strategies and targeted interventions to mitigate their effects.
