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

Migraines represent a significant health burden globally and are particularly prevalent in Saudi Arabia, with rates exceeding the global average. Effective management of acute migraine attacks is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Ubrogepant, a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, has shown promise in treating acute migraines. While previous research has confirmed its efficacy and safety in different populations, there is a lack of localized data evaluating its use among patients in Saudi Arabia. To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Ubrogepant 100 mg for acute migraine management among patients in Hail City, Saudi Arabia. This retrospective case series included all patients prescribed Ubrogepant 100 mg for acute migraine attacks. Eligible patients were identified through electronic medical records and contacted via patient portal, phone, or clinic visits to complete a 15-item open-ended questionnaire. The survey assessed treatment response, safety, and tolerability of Ubrogepant. Among 27 migraine patients treated with Ubrogepant, nearly 70% achieved complete headache resolution within 2 hours, and 80% experienced significant migraine relief within 1.5 hours. Functional disability scores significantly improved (
