Early Improvements With Atogepant for the Preventive Treatment of Migraine: Results From 3 Randomized Phase 3 Trials.
Trial report in Neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThree phase 3 trials demonstrated the efficacy and safety of atogepant in episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM) across 12-week treatment periods. This analysis evaluates improvements in efficacy and functional outcomes in the first 4 weeks of treatment with the oral calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, atogepant, for the preventive treatment of migraine.
methodsADVANCE, ELEVATE, and PROGRESS were phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 12-week trials. ADVANCE and ELEVATE included participants aged 18-80 years with >1 year history of EM and 4-14 monthly migraine days (MMDs). ELEVATE required previous treatment failures to 2-4 classes of oral preventives. PROGRESS included participants aged 18-80 years with >1 year history of CM, ≥15 monthly headache days, and ≥8 MMDs. This analysis reports the atogepant 60 mg once daily (QD) and placebo treatment arms. Outcomes included efficacy endpoints (reporting a migraine day on day 1, change from baseline in weekly migraine days [WMDs] at weeks 1-4, and in MMDs in the first 4 weeks) and functional endpoints evaluated by the Activity Impairment in Migraine-Diary (AIM-D) at weeks 1-4 and the European Quality-of-Life 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) at weeks 1-2 and 4.
resultsThe modified intent-to-treat population included the ADVANCE (atogepant, n = 222; placebo, n = 214), ELEVATE (atogepant, n = 151; placebo, n = 154), and PROGRESS (atogepant, n = 256; placebo, n = 246) studies. Atogepant-treated participants had greater reductions in the proportion of participants with a migraine day on day 1. The odds ratio compared with placebo was 0.39 (95% CI 0.23-0.67; DISCUSSIONS: Atogepant 60 mg QD demonstrated superiority to placebo in efficacy and functional measures in the first 4 weeks of treatment across 3 preventive studies, 2 in EM and 1 in CM.

CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that atogepant 60 mg QD reduces migraine frequency and improves functional outcomes within 4 weeks of initiation in patients with EM and patients with CM.
