Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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.

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

purpose of reviewThe current review aims to provide an overview of migraine treatment strategies in medically complex patients, including those with renal, liver, and cardiovascular disease. RECENT

findingsIn cardiovascular disease, gepants are likely safe for acute therapy; NSAIDs, ergotamines, and triptans are not recommended. Beta-blockers, ACEi/ARBs, and verapamil have potential cardiovascular benefits in addition to migraine preventive benefit. Frovatriptan requires no dose adjustments in kidney disease or in mild to moderate liver disease. Gepants are safe acute and preventive treatment options in mild and moderate renal and hepatic disease. TCAs and valproic acid require no dose adjustments in renal disease. OnabotulinumtoxinA is likely safe in cardiac, renal, and hepatic impairment. Although CGRP monoclonal antibodies are likely safe in renal and hepatic disease, further study is needed in these conditions as well as in cardiac disease, and no dosing recommendations are available. Effective options are available for those with complex medical comorbidities. Further research is required on the safety of newer migraine-specific therapies in these complex populations.
