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

objectiveIn the REPLENISH trial, women receiving TX-001HR-an oral, softgel capsule, combining 17β-estradiol (E2) and progesterone (E2 mg/P4 mg 1/100, 0.5/100), had significantly improved vasomotor symptoms, while having their endometrium protected from hyperplasia. The objective here was to describe P4 levels sufficient to counteract the potential endometrial effects of 1 or 0.5 mg oral E2 with TX-001HR.

methodsIn REPLENISH (phase 3; NCT01942668), serum P4, E2, and estrone (E1) levels were characterized in postmenopausal women treated with TX-001HR (E2 mg/P4 mg: 1/100, 0.5/100, [0.5/50, 0.25/50 and placebo not reported here]) at baseline, week 12, and month 12 for P4, and at baseline, weeks 4 and 12, and months 6, 9, and 12 for E2 and E1. In a phase 1 study, pharmacokinetic parameters were assessed after 7 daily doses of oral E2 mg/P4 mg (1/100 and 0.5/100).

resultsIn REPLENISH (n = 1,835), mean P4 levels were 0.39 to 0.55 ng/mL with 100-mg P4 doses; E2 levels were 42.3 to 45.6 pg/mL and 23.0 to 27.4 pg/mL for the 1-mg and 0.5-mg E2 doses, respectively; E1 levels were 214 to 242 pg/mL and 114 to 129 pg/mL for the 1-mg and 0.5-mg E2 doses. In the phase 1 study (n = 40; day 7), mean Cavg for P4 was 0.66 ng/mL with 100-mg P4 doses; E2 was 38.1 pg/mL and 29.2 pg/mL for 1 mg and 0.5 mg E2, respectively; and E1 was 211 and 106 pg/mL for 1 mg and 0.5 mg E2. All three analytes reached steady state within 7 days; accumulation ratios were 1.36 to 1.94.

conclusionsP4 levels observed with TX-001HR were similar in the phase 1 and 3 studies, and were associated with no endometrial hyperplasia with either E2 daily dose over 1 year in the REPLENISH phase 3 study, which showed significant improvements in menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
