Real-World Safety and Effectiveness of Lasmiditan in Patients with Migraine: A Post-Marketing Observational Study in Japan.

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
introductionMigraine is a chronic, disabling neurological disorder affecting the Japanese population, with a significant impact on quality of life and daily activities. Lasmiditan, a selective 5-HT
methodsThis single-arm, multicenter, non-interventional, prospective observational study enrolled 550 patients from 53 medical sites across Japan. Patients newly prescribed lasmiditan for acute migraine between June 2022 and September 2024 were included. Data were collected via electronic case report forms, eDiaries, and questionnaires. Safety assessments included adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), and treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). Effectiveness was evaluated by pain freedom and pain relief at 2 h post-dose. Data were summarized using descriptive statistics.
resultsOf the 400 patients analyzed for safety (mean age 40.5 years; 79.5% female), 56.0% received 50 mg and 42.8% received 100 mg lasmiditan as the initial dose. About 41.8% experienced at least one TEAE, with no SAEs or deaths. The most common TEAEs were dizziness (8.4%) and somnolence (3.9%) with a median time to resolution of 3 and 4 h, respectively. In the effectiveness analysis set (n = 328), for moderate-to-severe headache, 21.5% and 53.9% achieved pain freedom or pain relief, respectively, 2 h post-first dose. For specific daily activities, 45.9% of work or school tasks improved from "severely disturbed" and "couldn't move" to "no problem" or "slightly disturbed" after 2 h.
conclusionsLasmiditan was associated with a manageable safety profile and effectiveness in patients with acute migraine in routine clinical practice in Japan, with no new safety concerns identified.
