Clinical predictors for efficacy of erenumab for migraine: a Registry for Migraine (REFORM) study.
Article in Brain communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Erenumab has proven effective for migraine prevention; however, a substantial proportion of people with migraine do not benefit from treatment, and among those who do, there is considerable variability in response. This study aimed to identify clinical predictors of therapeutic response to erenumab and evaluate their predictive value in a large cohort of people with migraine. We conducted a single-centre, prospective, longitudinal cohort study of adults with migraine, experiencing ≥4 monthly migraine days. All participants received erenumab 140 mg monthly for 24 weeks and recorded their response in a headache diary with daily entries. A semi-structured interview was conducted at enrolment, and patient-reported outcome measures were collected before and after treatment. Treatment responders were classified as participants achieving a reduction from baseline of ≥50% in average monthly migraine days across weeks 13 through 24. Clinical predictors were analysed using logistic regression analysis. In total, 570 participants with migraine provided data eligible for analysis. Of these, 298 (52.3%) participants were classified as treatment responders, and the remaining 272 (47.7%) were non-responders. Independent predictors associated with a lower likelihood of response to erenumab were chronic migraine (odds ratio 0.63, 95% confidence interval 0.43-0.91;
