Structure-Activity Relationships of GAG Mimetic-Functionalized Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles and Evaluation of Acyclovir-Loaded Antiviral Nanoparticles with Dual Mechanisms of Action.
Article in ACS omega, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are drug delivery agents that are able to incorporate drugs within their pores. Furthermore, MSNs can be functionalized by attachment of bioactive ligands on their surface to enhance their activity, and nanoparticles modified with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) mimetics inhibit the entry of herpes simplex virus (HSV) into cells. In this study, structure-activity relationships of GAGs attached to MSNs were investigated in relation to HSV-1 and HSV-2, and acyclovir was loaded into the pores of MSNs. The sulfonate group was demonstrated to be essential for antiviral activity, which was enhanced by incorporating a benzene group within the ligand. Loading acyclovir into GAG mimetic-functionalized MSNs reduced the viral infection, resulting in nanoparticles that simultaneously target two distinct viral pathways, namely, inhibition of viral entry and inhibition of DNA replication.
