Identifying RNA Helicase Inhibitors Using Duplex Unwinding Assays.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
RNA helicases are responsible for virtually all of RNA metabolism. Viral and bacterial pathogens typically encode their own RNA helicases. Hence, this family of enzymes is increasingly recognized as potential targets for treatment of a variety of diseases. However, the conserved structural similarities among helicase families present an obstacle to the idea of developing specific inhibitors. In order to identify potential modulators of RNA helicase activity, rapid screening approaches are needed. This has been accomplished by optimizing and adapting standard helicase assays to function in high-throughput modalities. These optimized assays have enabled the application of rapid screening approaches to be applied toward discovering helicase inhibitors. This chapter provides detailed protocols for utilizing a medium to high-throughput approach for inhibitor discovery.
