Ubrogepant: Mechanism of action, clinical and translational science.
Article in Clinical and translational science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
In recent years, the treatment of migraine has experienced a breakthrough in the development of drugs that target the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) signaling pathway. Monoclonal antibodies against the receptor or ligand have been developed for the preventive treatment of migraine; whereas, orally administered small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists, called gepants, have been developed for both acute and/or preventive treatment. Both modalities have demonstrated safe and effective treatment of migraine, reducing the number of migraine days for patients as well as reducing symptoms and improving patient function and overall quality of life. Here, we provide an abridged review of ubrogepant, an oral CGRP receptor antagonist, approved for the acute treatment of migraine. We briefly summarize the role of CGRP in migraine pathophysiology, describing the mechanism of action of ubrogepant in the context of this pathway, the clinical pharmacology properties and the clinical development and outcomes, including safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, that supported ubrogepant's approval.
