Cardiovascular outcomes in adults with migraine treated with eptinezumab for migraine prevention: pooled data from four randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.

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.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with migraine have an increased relative risk of cardio- and cerebrovascular events, and some migraine treatments may exacerbate this risk. The primary objective of this analysis was to determine whether the rate of cardiovascular adverse events was higher for patients with migraine treated with the migraine-preventive eptinezumab, compared with patients receiving placebo.
methodsCardiovascular outcomes in patients with migraine were pooled across four clinical trials (phase 1b, phase 2, and two phase 3 trials) for use of eptinezumab as a preventive migraine treatment for up to 1 year. In all studies, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) that occurred after the first dose of study treatment (eptinezumab 100 mg, 300 mg, 1000 mg, or placebo) and vital signs were recorded through study completion.
resultsCardiovascular TEAEs were rare across all four clinical trials, and rates were similar between patients receiving eptinezumab and those receiving placebo. Cardiovascular TEAEs that did occur were mild or moderate in severity; there were no serious adverse events as per FDA definition. Vital signs (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate) were not meaningfully different across treatment groups over the course of 56 weeks, compared to placebo. Treatment with eptinezumab did not result in significant new or changed cardiovascular medications used concomitantly compared to placebo.
conclusionsIn this post hoc analysis of four clinical trials for eptinezumab, doses of 100 mg, 300 mg, and 1000 mg (more than 3 times the highest approved dose) were not associated with clinically relevant changes in vital signs or significant changes in concomitant cardiovascular medication usage, and had low incidences of cardiovascular TEAEs, comparable to placebo.
