Intranasal sumatriptan for migraine in children.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
questionI am seeing more and more children and adolescents with headaches that can be defined as migraine headache. I have read about intranasal sumatriptan as an abortive therapy. Is this an effective treatment? ANSWER: Acute migraine headache among children and adolescents is common and treatment is challenging. Intranasal sumatriptan is a safe and mostly effective option for children and adolescents. Currently the recommended dose is 20 mg for children who weigh more than 40 kg and 10 mg for children who weigh between 20 and 39 kg. Larger trials should be conducted to overcome the limitations of small sample sizes, potential low plasma concentration, and placebo effects witnessed in studies to date.
