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

Fluorescence-microscopic studies with dansylated estramustine (DnsEM) has permitted investigation of the mechanism of estramustine (EM) uptake in live human prostatic tumor cells (DU 145). DnsEM appeared to enter cells rapidly at the peripheral cell margins. A progressive increase in fluorescence was observed until the perinuclear material and cytoplasm were labeled brightly and the nucleoplasm was labeled faintly. Light microscopy showed that DnsEM is assimilated first in preexisting vesicles and then in numerous newly created vesicles that accumulate in the cytoplasm and around the nucleus. Colony-forming assays showed EM and DnsEM to be equally cytotoxic to cultured DU 145 cells. Cellular uptake and subsequent manifestation of cytotoxicity are presumably dependent upon these vesicles. However, after uptake of DnsEM, its diffusion into the cytoplasm was observed.
