Observational study in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07067112 (Suppressive Functions of Regulatory T Cells in Migraine), which is not on this map. Cited by 41 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

objectivesTo assess the frequency and characteristics of late responders (>12 weeks) to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP).

methodsThis is a multicenter (n = 16) prospective real-life study considering all consecutive adults with high-frequency or chronic migraine treated with anti-CGRP mAbs for ≥24 weeks. We defined responder patients with a ≥50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine/headache days at weeks 9-12 and late responders as those achieving a ≥50% reduction only afterward.

resultsA total of 771 people with migraine completed ≥24 weeks of anti-CGRP mAb treatment. Responders at 12 weeks were 65.6% (506/771) of the patients, while nonresponders were 34.4% (265/771). A total of 146 of the 265 nonresponders (55.1%) at 12 weeks responded afterward (late responders): they differed from responders for a higher BMI (+0.78, 95% CI [0.10; 1.45]; DISCUSSION: Half of nonresponders to anti-CGRP mAbs at 12 weeks are indeed late responders. Efficacy of anti-CGRP mAbs should be assessed at 24 weeks while treatment duration should be extended beyond 12 months.
