Review in Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

All the currently available antiviral agents used in the treatment of double-stranded (ds) DNA viruses, with the exception of interferon-α, inhibit the same target, the viral DNA polymerase. With increasing reports of the development of resistance of herpes simplex virus (HSV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) to some of these drugs, new antiviral agents are needed to treat these infections. Additionally, no drugs have been approved to treat several DNA virus infections, including those caused by adenovirus, smallpox, molluscum contagiosum, and BK virus. We report the status of 10 new antiviral drugs for the treatment of dsDNA viruses. CMX-001 has broad activity against dsDNA viruses; 3 helicase-primase inhibitors, maribavir, and FV-100 have activity against certain herpesviruses; ST-246 inhibits poxviruses; GS-9191 inhibits papillomaviruses; and clevudine and emtricitabine are active against HBV. Most of these drugs have completed at least phase I trials in humans, and many are in additional clinical trials.
