Importance of lipophilicity for potent anti-herpes simplex virus-1 activity of α-hydroxytropolones.
Article in MedChemComm, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
We previously reported that troponoid compounds profoundly inhibit replication of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and HSV-2 in cell culture, including acyclovir-resistant mutants. Synthesis of 26 alpha-hydroxylated tropolones (αHTs) led to a preliminary structure-activity relationship highlighting the potency of bi-phenyl side chains. Here, we explore the structure-activity relationship in more detail, with a focus on various biaryl and other lipophilic molecules. Along with our prior structure-function analysis, we present a refined structure-activity relationship that reveals the importance of the lipophilicity and nature of the side chain for potent anti-HSV-1 activity in cells. We expect this new information will help guide future optimization of αHTs as HSV antivirals.
