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

introductionThis analysis assessed the real-world effectiveness of rimegepant for the acute treatment of migraine in patients taking different types of preventive medication.

methodsThe prospective, observational, CONFIDENCE study recruited participants in the United States with 3-14 headache days/30 days and a rimegepant prescription for the acute treatment of migraine via the Migraine Buddy

resultsAmong 2169 rimegepant-treated attacks, meaningful pain relief was achieved at 2 h and 4 h in 61.3% and 81.8%, respectively; corresponding values for meaningful improvement in function were 57.6% and 78.5%. Odds for all outcomes were higher with rimegepant versus other acute medication treatment combinations. Satisfaction with rimegepant treatment of the attack was > 60% across domains related to speed and effectiveness. Rates and adjusted odds ratios [aORs (95% CI)] for meaningful pain relief within 2 h with rimegepant versus other acute medication treatment combinations were: all attacks 61.3% versus 49.6%, aOR = 1.93 (1.52, 2.45), P < 0.001; no preventive medication 70.0% versus 41.8%, aOR = 4.56 (2.09, 9.92), P < 0.001; OPM 64.7% versus 56.5%, aOR = 1.76 (1.06, 2.90), P < 0.05; onaBoNT-A 62.0% versus 49.5%, aOR = 1.89 (1.24, 2.87), P < 0.01; and CGRP mAb 54.4% versus 46.8%, aOR = 1.66 (1.09, 2.53), P < 0.05.

conclusionHigh rates of meaningful pain relief, meaningful improvement in function, and treatment satisfaction were observed with rimegepant for the acute treatment of migraine when used alongside different types of preventive medication in the real world.
