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

backgroundDespite the great progress made in the last 10 years, alternative strategies might help improving definitive treatment options against hepatitis C virus infection.

methodsWith the aim of identifying novel inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus-1b replication targeting the viral NS3 helicase, the structures of previously reported symmetrical inhibitors of this enzyme were rationally modified, and according to docking-based studies, four novel scaffolds were selected for synthesis and evaluation in the hepatitis C virus-1b subgenomic replicon assay.

resultsAmong the newly designed compounds, one new structural family was found to inhibit the hepatitis C virus-1b replication in the micromolar range. This scaffold was chosen for further exploration and different novel analogues were synthesised and evaluated.

conclusionsDifferent new inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus genotype 1b replication were identified. Some of the new compounds show mild inhibition of the NS3 helicase enzyme.
