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

backgroundOlomoucine II, the most recent derivative of roscovitine, is an exceptionally potent pharmacological inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activities. Here, we report that olomoucine II is also an effective antiviral agent.

methodsAntiviral activities of olomoucine II were tested on a range of human viruses in in vitro assays that evaluated viral growth and replication.

resultsOlomoucine II inhibited replication of a broad range of wild-type human viruses, including herpes simplex virus, human adenovirus type-4 and human cytomegalovirus. Olomoucine II also inhibited replication of vaccinia virus and herpes simplex virus mutants resistant to conventional acyclovir treatment. This report is the first demonstration of a poxvirus being sensitive to a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. The antiviral effects of olomoucine II could be observed at lower concentrations than with roscovitine, although both were short-term. A remarkable observation was that olomoucine II, when used in combination with the DNA polymerase inhibitor cidofovir, was able to almost completely eliminate the spread of infectious adenovirus type-4 progeny from infected cells.

conclusionsOur results show that when targeting two complementary antiviral mechanisms, strongly additive effects could be observed.
