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

We propose a unique theoretical methodology because of the global high priority rating to search for the repurposed drugs that outfit clinical suitability to SARS-CoV-2. The approach is based on the exploration of structural analysis, computation of biothermodynamics, interactions and the prediction of entropy sign successively via molecular dynamics. We tested this methodology for Favipiravir/Dolutegravir drugs on the apo form of SARS-CoV-2 main protease. This theoretical exploration not only suggested the presence of strong interactions between (SARS-CoV-2 + Favipiravir/Dolutegravir) but also emphasized the clinical suitability of Favipiravir over Dolutegravir to treat SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The supremacy of Favipiravir over Doultegravir is well supported by the results of global clinical trials on SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thus, this work will pave the way for incremental advancement towards future design and development of more specific inhibitors to treat SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.
