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

As hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the major health problems in many countries, interest has been aroused in the design, synthesis, and optimization of novel NS5A inhibitors, outside the chemical space of currently available direct acting antivirals (DAAs). Two series of symmetric molecules with core scaffold 3,3'-(buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl)dianiline or 4,4'-(buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl)dianiline, coupled on its nitrogen as amide with different end caps, were synthesized and tested for their activities against HCV by using cell-based antiviral assays. Molecules with the 3,3'-(buta-1,3-diyne-1,4-diyl)dianiline core were more active than their 4,4'-congeners. Only the 3,3'-derivatives showed noncoplanarity of core phenyls that mostly led to a better interaction with the target protein and appears to be a crucial element for efficient inhibition of HCV replication.
