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

Progesterone plays an important role in the female reproductive system. However, there is also evidence that gynecologic disorders/diseases such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis are progesterone-dependent. Steroidal and non-steroidal selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs) have shown potential for the treatment of such diseases. Steroidal SPRMs, including mifepristone and ulipristal acetate, have proven effective in clinical trials. However, several steroidal SPRMs containing a dimethylamino substituent have been associated with elevated liver enzymes in patients. An earlier drug discovery program identified lonaprisan as a highly selective SPRM that did not show drug-related change in liver enzyme activity. Building on data obtained from that work, here we describe the research program that culminated in the discovery of a novel steroidal SPRM, vilaprisan, which combines an extremely high potency with very favorable drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties. Vilaprisan has entered clinical development and is currently undergoing phase 3 clinical trials.
