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

SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has been recognized the causative agent of the recent and ongoing pandemic. Effective and specific antiviral agents or vaccines are still missing, despite a large plethora of compounds have been proposed and tested worldwide. New compounds are requested urgently and virtual screening can offer fast and robust predictions to investigate. Moreover, natural compounds were shown to exert antiviral effects and can be endowed with limited side effects and wide availability. Our approach consisted in the validation of a docking protocol able to refine the most suitable candidates, within the 31000 natural compounds of the natural product activity and species source (NPASS) library, interacting with the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike glycoprotein. After the refinement process two natural compounds, castanospermine and karuquinone B, were shown to be the best-in-class derivatives
