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 adenovirus (HAdV) infection is common in the general population and can cause a range of clinical manifestations, among which pneumonia and keratoconjunctivitis are the most common. Although HAdV infections are mostly self-limiting, infections in immunocompromised individuals can be severe. No antiviral drug has been approved for treating adenoviruses. Filociclovir (FCV) is a nucleoside analogue which has successfully completed phase I human clinical safety studies and is now being developed for treatment of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-related disease in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we show that FCV is a potent broad-spectrum inhibitor of HAdV types 4 to 8, with 50% effective concentrations (EC
