Comparison of eptinezumab 300 mg with 100 mg for the treatment of migraine: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies.

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
Introduction: The efficacy and safety of eptinezumab 300 mg versus 100 mg for migraine remains debatable. We conduct this meta-analysis to compare eptinezumab 300 mg with 100 mg on the treatment of migraine. Methods: We have searched PubMed, EMbase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through April 2021 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effect of eptinezumab 300 mg versus 100 mg on treatment efficacy and safety in migraine patients. This meta-analysis was performed using the random-effect model. Results: Four RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Overall, compared with eptinezumab 100 mg in migraine patients, eptinezumab 300 mg was associated with substantially improved 75% responder rate (OR=1.34; 95% CI=1.06 to 1.69; P=0.01), but demonstrated similar monthly migraine days (MD=-0.09; 95% CI=-0.20 to 0.01; P=0.08), 100% responder rate (OR=1.38; 95% CI=0.94 to 2.02; P=0.10), 50% responder rate (OR=1.20; 95% CI=0.97 to 1.48; P=0.10), migraine 1 day after dosing (OR=0.92; 95% CI=0.72 to 1.18; P=0.52), adverse events (OR=1.13; 95% CI=0.77 to 1.65; P=0.53), nasopharyngitis (OR=1.26; 95% CI=0.74 to 2.14; P=0.40), upper respiratory tract infection (OR=1.25; 95% CI=0.83 to 1.88; P=0.29), sinusitis (OR=1.78; 95% CI=0.95 to 3.33; P=0.07) or nausea (OR=1.26; 95% CI=0.68 to 2.32; P=0.46). Conclusions: Eptinezumab 300 mg may have better efficacy for migraine patients than eptinezumab 100 mg.
