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

Current treatment options for influenza virus infections in humans are limited and therefore the development of novel antivirals is of high priority. Inhibiting influenza virus attachment to host cells would provide an early and efficient block of the infection and thus, receptor analogs have been considered as options for antiviral treatment. Here, we describe the rapid and efficient synthesis of PAMAM dendrimers conjugated with either 3'-sialyllactose (3SL) or 6'-sialyllactose (6SL) and their potential to inhibit a diverse range of human and avian influenza virus strains. We show in a hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) assay that human IAV strains can be inhibited by (6SL)- and to a lesser extent also by (3SL)-conjugated PAMAM dendrimers. In contrast, avian strains could only be inhibited by (3SL)-conjugated dendrimers. Importantly, the differential sensitivities of human and avian IAV to the two types of sialyllactose-conjugated dendrimers could be confirmed in cell-based neutralization assays. Based on our findings, we suggest to further develop both, (3SL)- and (6SL)-conjugated PAMAM dendrimers, as influenza virus inhibitors.
