Efficacy of onabotulinumtoxinA treatment in episodic migraine.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) is approved as a prophylactic treatment of chronic migraine (CM) only. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of BoNT-A in the treatment of episodic migraine (EM). Methods: This is a prospective study included migraine patients, aged 18-65 years, and completed 1 year treatment with BoNT-A. Patients received 4 courses of BoNT-A treatment. Patient's headache was assessed by headache diary at baseline, and before every injection. Migraine Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) and work productivity were collected at baseline and in their last visit. Adverse events (AEs) were reported. Results: The study recruited 210 patients. Between baseline and the final visit, there were a significant reduction in migraine days, analgesic consumption days, and headache severity (9.54 ± 1.70 versus 4.58 ± 2.77, Conclusion: BoNT-A is an effective and well tolerated therapy in the prophylaxis of EM. It improved MSQ and WPAI.
