Pharmacokinetic studies in migraine: what questions should physicians ask?
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2004. 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 is a benign self-limiting condition for which the objective of treatment is to maximize the patient's quality of life by reducing the frequency of attacks and attenuating the pain and suffering of an individual attack as quickly and safely as possible. Evaluating the efficacy of antimigraine treatments, particularly those for the management of the acute attack, is relatively easy because acute symptomatic benefit is the criterion of success. For prophylaxis, therapeutic success generally is measured by relatively simple parameters such as attack frequency. Given that the clinical response to antimigraine therapies relatively is readily assessed by history, the role of more sophisticated investigations such as pharmacokinetic studies may not be immediately clear. This paper aims to provide clinicians with a guide to interpretation of such studies.
