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

Estramustine phosphate (estramustine phosphate sodium), a carbamate ester combining 17 beta-estradiol and nor-nitrogen mustard, is a cytotoxic drug used in the treatment of advanced prostatic carcinoma. Because of the radiosensitising effect of this drug there has been a recent increase in interest concerning estramustine phosphate and its clinical use. It has also been found that the early recommendations of drug administration together with food or milk were inappropriate, since calcium containing food and antacids hamper drug uptake. This may have obscured results from earlier clinical studies with estramustine phosphate. Estramustine phosphate is currently being re-evaluated for the treatment of other tumours such as glioma and mammary carcinoma. This review summarises the present relatively limited knowledge concerning the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic aspects of estramustine phosphate and its metabolites.
