Research priorities for randomised controlled trials in chronic migraine preventive medication: A stakeholder consensus workshop.
Article in NIHR open research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Chronic migraine is a disabling condition that can substantially impact on quality of life. People with chronic migraine have headaches on at least 15 days of every month. Preventative medications aiming to reduce number of days with migraine are available, but high-quality randomised evidence is lacking for many drugs, and it is unclear which medications should be prioritised for research. There is also no existing evidence about patient and clinicians' priorities for research. Methods: We undertook a consensus workshop with patient and healthcare professional stakeholders, using nominal group technique, to understand these stakeholders' priorities for future randomised controlled trials. We reached a consensus on a set of research recommendations for the field. Results: Eight people with chronic migraine and eleven healthcare professionals took part in an online workshop. Comparisons of calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (CGRP MAbs) and OnabotulinumtoxinA (BTA) were a top priority for our group. Candesartan and Flunarizine were the top drugs the group wanted to compare against placebo. Conclusions: These research recommendations should guide researchers in the field, and funders when prioritising commissioned research and assessing funding applications. Particular areas to explore further are Candesartan or Flunarizine versus placebo, and comparing and combining CGRP MAbs with other medications.
