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

The current outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has reported thousands of deaths worldwide due to the rapid transmission rate and the lack of antiviral drugs and vaccinations. There is an urgent need to develop potential antiviral drug candidates for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. In the present study, a series of potential inhibitors targeting SARS-CoV 3CL protease were rationally designed by incorporating gamma lactam ring, and various fluoro substituted heterocyclic ring systems to the flavonoid scaffold. The prediction of drug-likeness, oral bioavailability, toxicity, synthetic accessibility, and ADMET properties was made by computational means. Quercetin was used as standard. The binding affinity of the ligands towards the 3CL protease target was examined using docking simulations. The designed ligands possess favourable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties. Ligand L4, L8, and L14 appeared to be the lead compounds in the series and can be considered for further
