Intranasal sumatriptan: in adolescents with migraine.
Review in CNS drugs, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Sumatriptan, a serotonin 5-HT(1B/1D) agonist, constricts cranial blood vessels and inhibits neuroinflammatory processes. A single dose of sumatriptan 10 mg (approved European dosage) was significantly more effective than placebo in achieving headache relief at 1 hour post-dose in a well designed study. Headache relief occurred in significantly more adolescents administered a single dose of intranasal sumatriptan 20 mg (at 1 and 2 hours) and 5 mg (at 2 hours) than placebo (pooled data from two studies). Sustained headache relief (1-24 and 2-24 hours) occurred in significantly more recipients of a single dose of intranasal sumatriptan 20mg and 5mg than placebo (pooled data from two studies). Intranasal sumatriptan was generally well tolerated in adolescent migraineurs (in single-episode studies or long term in multiple-episode studies). Taste disturbance occurred more often with intranasal sumatriptan than with placebo [Chart: see text].
