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

Aminosteroid derivative RM-581 stands out as an anticancer agent, supported by positive in vitro and in vivo studies on resistant cancers of the breast, prostate, and pancreas. A synthetic route has already been developed to obtain aminosteroid RM-581 in small quantities (scale of milligrams to a few grams). However, this route has significant limitations in view of its transposition to scaling up to larger quantities to support late preclinical and clinical trials. Among the problems are the use of toxic reagents, the moderate overall yield, and the need for multiple purifications through chromatographic columns. The development of a new synthetic route has therefore been explored. Starting from commercially available estrone, 2,4-dibromo-estrone was rapidly formed, followed by the regioselective introduction of a nitro group at the C2 position and by the methylation of phenol at the C3 position. The 4-bromo-2-nitro-3-
