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

Gepants, oral antagonists of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor, represent a new therapeutic class in migraine management. This review aims to assess the efficacy and safety profile of the two gepants currently available in France: atogepant and rimegepant. A review of the literature was conducted in July 2024 using the PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases. Randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy and/or safety of atogepant and rimegepant in adult patients with migraine were included. Sixteen randomized controlled trials were selected (nine evaluating atogepant and seven evaluating rimegepant). In migraine prevention, atogepant significantly reduced the mean number of monthly migraine days (-0.7 to -2.4 days
