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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThere are limited real-world data in Switzerland examining the impact of erenumab, a fully human IgG2 monoclonal antibody targeting the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, on migraine-related quality of life.

objectiveThis 18-month interim analysis of 172 patients with episodic or chronic migraine from the SQUARE study provides first prospective insights on the impact of mandatory erenumab treatment interruption, following Swiss-reimbursement requirements, in a real-world clinical setting in Switzerland.

findingsRecruited patients receiving 70 or 140 mg erenumab underwent treatment interruption on average 11.2 months after therapy onset with a mean duration of 4 months. There were sustained improvements in mean monthly migraine days (MMD) and migraine disability (mMIDAS) during initial treatment with erenumab. Treatment interruption was associated with a temporary worsening of condition. Symptoms ameliorated upon therapy reuptake reaching improvements similar to pre-break within 3 months.

conclusionsTreatment interruption was associated with a temporary worsening of condition, which improved again after therapy restart.
