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.

Abstract

Background: Lasmiditan, an oral 5-HT Objectives: To evaluate lasmiditan effectiveness and tolerability in the real-world setting in 16 Italian headache centers. Design: LasmiDitan as Acute migRaine Treatment (DART) study is a prospective, multicentric, observational study. Methods: We enrolled 58 participants with migraine (84.5% females, age 49.0 (45.2-52.9) years, 24.1% with chronic migraine) reporting 9.4 (7.4-11.3) monthly migraine days. Participants were instructed to treat their migraine attacks with oral lasmiditan 50 or 100 mg. Using an ad hoc electronic diary, participants prospectively collected migraine attack features at baseline and every 30 min after lasmiditan administration, up to 2 h post-dose. The primary outcome was 2-h pain freedom for the first-treated attack after lasmiditan intake. We also collected the occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AE) after administration. Results: Overall, participants treated 100 attacks, of which 58 first-treated attacks. Regarding first-treated attacks, 44.8% of subjects rated migraine intensity as severe at lasmiditan intake. Pain freedom 2-h post-dosing was reported in 32.8% (19/58) of individuals and was associated with baseline pain intensity, being higher in subjects treating a mild/moderate attack ( Conclusion: Our study supports clinical effectiveness of oral lasmiditan 50 and 100 mg for the treatment of acute migraine attacks. Lasmiditan effectiveness was not associated with the previous triptan failure and may therefore represent a valuable therapeutic option in subjects who did not benefit from, or have contraindications to, triptans. Trail registration: The study was preregistered on clinicaltrial.gov, NCT05903040 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05903040?cond=migraine&intr=lasmiditan&rank=5).
