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

Herein I will present general principles of acute-care and preventive therapy of migraine, both in the present and the future. Details of currently used migraine acute-care therapies with their contraindications, drug-drug interactions and adverse events will be presented. Details of migraine preventive therapies with their adverse events and drug-drug interactions will be discussed. Some over-the-counter vitamins, minerals and herbs, used as preventive therapy in migraine, will be discussed. Future treatments in the pipeline will be briefly detailed.
