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

Using a targeted metabolic investigation approach, a new, previously undescribed metabolite, which is a pyrrole derivative of LGD-4033, has been detected and coded as M8. This metabolite can be detected in postadministration human urine samples up to 6 days after administration. It has also been detected in post-administration samples, mimicking supplement contamination, after repeated 10 μg doses detectable for ≥ 120 h after administration. Given M8's structural similarity to LGD-4033, its androgen receptor (AR) agonist/antagonist properties were studied using in silico molecular docking and functional in vitro AR transactivation assays in the PC3(AR)
