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

Migraine presents with substantial clinical heterogeneity, yet studies examining the link between vitamin D and migraine typically treat patients as a uniform group. Whether distinct clinical phenotypes harbor differential vitamin D levels remains unexplored. This study aimed to identify data-driven migraine phenotypes using cluster analysis and to compare serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels within this clinical population, across these phenotypes. This retrospective chart review included 95 migraine patients with complete data on HIT-6, MIDAS grade, attack severity, disease duration, pain lateralization, autonomic symptoms, and serum vitamin D. K-means clustering (k = 4) was applied to sixteen standardized clinical features; cluster stability was quantified by bootstrap resampling, and findings were corroborated using cluster-independent regression and alternative clustering algorithms suited to mixed data. Vitamin D was compared across clusters using Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests. Logistic regression assessed whether vitamin D predicted severe phenotype membership adjusting for age, sex, and duration. Four phenotypes emerged: a left-sided aura-rich cluster (
