Review of Tolerability of Fremanezumab for Episodic and Chronic Migraine.
Review in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were the first class of medication specifically developed for the prevention of migraine. Fremanezumab is one of four CGRP mAbs currently available and is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the preventative treatment of episodic and chronic migraines. This narrative review summarizes the history of fremanezumab development, the trials that led to its approval, and the later studies published evaluating its tolerability and efficacy. Evidence of fremanezumab for clinically significant efficacy and tolerability in patients with chronic migraine is especially important when considering the high level of disability, lower quality of life scores, and higher levels of health-care utilization associated with this condition. Multiple clinical trials demonstrated superiority of fremanezumab over placebo in terms of efficacy while demonstrating good tolerability. Treatment-related adverse reactions did not differ significantly compared to placebo and dropout rates were minimal. The most commonly observed treatment-related adverse reaction was mild-to-moderate injection site reaction, described as erythema, pain, induration, or swelling at the injection site.
