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

BACKGROUND AND

aimCOVID-19 emerged by the end of 2019 in Wuhan, China. It spreaded and became a public health emergency all over the world by mid of April 2020. Flavonoids are specialized metabolites that have antimicrobial properties including anti-viral activity. Rutin, a medicinally important flavonoid belongs to one of the best natural antioxidant classes. It has antiprotozoal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Keeping the antimicrobial potential of rutin in mind, we studied its role in the inhibition of essential proteins of SARS-CoV-2 including main protease (M EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE: Molecular docking, inhibition constant, hydrogen bond calculations, and ADMET-properties prediction were performed using different softwares. RESULTS AND

conclusionMolecular docking study showed significant binding of rutin with M
