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

In 2011, the FDA approved boceprevir as a hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 serine protease inhibitor. The sustained virological response rate for treatment with this approved compound is considerably low. Patients have not responded as much as expected to boceprevir therapy. In this in silico study, modified boceprevir compounds are suggested and tested on wild-type HCV NS3 protease and 19 mutated HCV NS3 proteases using molecular docking. Results reveal the superiority of two of the proposed modified compounds to boceprevir. One of which appears to be more potent than boceprevir itself concerning activity against wild-type NS3 and most of the examined mutated NS3 proteases.
