Oral triptans in children and adolescents: an update.
Review in Current pain and headache reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
This review evaluates the recent progress in clinical trials on oral triptans for acute migraine in children and adolescents. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the treatment of migraine in pediatric patients were rare and difficult to design. In particular, high placebo response in many of the trials made it difficult to prove efficacy of triptans. Using a "novel study design" for RCT, a study successfully proved the efficacy of an oral rizatriptan. This trial enrolled patients with unsatisfactory response to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory or acetaminophen and with migraine lasting longer than 3 h. Rizatriptan was approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (USA) for children and adolescents of 6-17 years. The triptan-NSAID combination drug for pediatric patients also showed efficacy.
