Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Systemic Effects: Embracing the Complexity of Its Biological Roles-A Narrative Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
The calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a neuropeptide widely distributed throughout the human body. While primarily recognized as a nociceptive mediator, CGRP antagonists are currently utilized for migraine treatment. However, its role extends far beyond this, acting as a regulator of numerous biological processes. Indeed, CGRP plays a crucial role in vasodilation, inflammation, intestinal motility, and apoptosis. In this review, we explore the non-nociceptive effects of CGRP in various body systems, revealing actions that can be contradictory at times. In the cardiovascular system, it functions as a potent vasodilator, yet its antagonists do not induce arterial hypertension, suggesting concurrent modulation by other molecules. As an immunomodulator, CGRP exhibits intriguing complexity, displaying both anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, CGRP appears to be involved in obesity development while paradoxically reducing appetite. A thorough investigation of CGRP's biological effects is crucial for anticipating potential side effects associated with its antagonists' use and for developing novel therapies in other medical fields. In summary, CGRP represents a neuropeptide with a complex systemic impact, extending well beyond nociception, thus offering new perspectives in medical research and therapeutics.
