Random-effect model of trial sequential analysis for changes in monthly migraine days. The dashed red lines represent the trial sequential monitoring boundary (upper O’Brien Fleming with α = 5%, β = 20%, low risk of bias). Required information size (RIS) of 506 participants were calculated. Complete blue line represents cumulative Z-curve, which is well past the RIS needed. Cumulative Z-curve cross conventional boundary (complete red line) and the trial sequential monitoring boundary (dashed red line)
