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

The emergence and global spread of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus reminds us that we are limited in the strategies available to control influenza infection. Vaccines are the best option for the prophylaxis and control of a pandemic; however, the lag time between virus identification and vaccine distribution exceeds 6 months and concerns regarding vaccine safety are a growing issue leading to vaccination refusal. In the short-term, antiviral therapy is vital to control the spread of influenza. However, we are currently limited to four licensed anti-influenza drugs: the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir, and the M2 ion-channel inhibitors amantadine and rimantadine. The value of neuraminidase inhibitors was clearly established during the initial phases of the 2009 pandemic when vaccines were not available, i.e. stockpiles of antivirals are valuable. Unfortunately, as drug-resistant variants continue to emerge naturally and through selective pressure applied by use of antiviral drugs, the efficacy of these drugs declines. Because we cannot predict the strain of influenza virus that will cause the next epidemic or pandemic, it is important that we develop novel anti-influenza drugs with broad reactivity against all strains and subtypes, and consider moving to multiple drug therapy in the future. In this article we review the experimental data on investigational antiviral agents undergoing clinical trials (parenteral zanamivir and peramivir, long-acting neuraminidase inhibitors and the polymerase inhibitor favipiravir [T-705]) and experimental antiviral agents that target either the virus (the haemagglutinin inhibitor cyanovirin-N and thiazolides) or the host (fusion protein inhibitors [DAS181], cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists).
