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

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) is responsible for the global COVID-19 pandemic and millions of deaths worldwide. In December 2020, a new alpha strain of SARS-CoV2 was identified in the United Kingdom. It was referred to as VUI 202012/01 (Alpha strain modelled under investigation, 2020, month 12, number 01). The interaction between spike protein and ACE2 receptor is a prerequisite for entering virion into the host cell. The present study is focussed on the spike protein of the SARS-COV 2, involving the comparison of binding affinity of new alpha strain modelled spike with previous strain spike (PDB ID:7DDN) using
