Delayed Access Is a Migraine Risk Factor: Precision Triage as the Missing Link in Modern Headache Care.
Article in Cureus, 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
Migraine care has become scientifically precise while many patient pathways remain operationally imprecise. Diagnostic criteria, global burden data, migraine-specific preventive therapies, and emerging digital tools are available, yet many patients still experience delayed diagnosis, underestimated disability, escalating acute medication use, and late access to prevention. This perspective argues that delayed access should be understood not merely as an administrative barrier, but as a modifiable risk factor that may contribute to migraine progression, medication overuse, and avoidable disability. It proposes precision triage as a practical implementation framework for connecting headache classification, burden assessment, medication-overuse risk, rational preventive treatment selection, timely referral, and accountable use of digital health tools. The central claim is that modern migraine care must shift from disconnected visits to a pathway-based model that asks what each patient needs next and how soon. Such a shift may help translate existing headache knowledge into faster, fairer, and more clinically responsive care.
