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

Therapeutic targeting of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a bench-to-bedside success story that has established migraine as a treatable neurological disorder. There are now eight monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule receptor antagonists approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine. This review focuses on evolving real-world data for these inhibitors of CGRP activity. While the drugs have been remarkably safe so far, some adverse effects are arising. To conclude, we speculate on the emerging use of CGRP inhibitors for other disorders and what lies on the horizon for combinatorial and neuropeptide-based treatments inspired by the CGRP story.
