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

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are fatal to immuno-suppressed individuals, but no effective anti-HAdV therapy is available. Here, we present a novel image-based high-throughput screening (HTS) platform, which scores the full viral replication cycle from virus entry to dissemination of progeny and second-round infections. We analysed 1,280 small molecular weight compounds of the Prestwick Chemical Library (PCL) for interference with HAdV-C2 infection in a quadruplicate, blinded format, and performed robust image analyses and hit filtering. We present the entire set of the screening data including all images, image analyses and data processing pipelines. The data are made available at the Image Data Resource (IDR, idr0081). Our screen identified Nelfinavir mesylate as an inhibitor of HAdV-C2 multi-round plaque formation, but not single round infection. Nelfinavir has been FDA-approved for anti-retroviral therapy in humans. Our results underscore the power of image-based full cycle infection assays in identifying viral inhibitors with clinical potential.
