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 ongoing pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV 2) has led to more than 168 million confirmed cases with 3.5 million deaths as at 28th May, 2021 across 218 countries. The virus has a cysteine protease called main protease (Mpro) which is significant to it life cycle, tagged as a suitable target for novel antivirals. In this computer-assisted study, we designed 100 novel molecules through an artificial neural network-driven platform called LigDream (https://playmolecule.org/LigDream/) using 3-O-(6-galloylglucoside) as parent molecule for design. Druglikeness screening of the molecules through five (5) different rules was carried out, followed by a virtual screening of those molecules without a single violation of the druglike rules using AutoDock Vina against Mpro. The in silico pharmacokinetic features were predicted and finally, quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) study was carried out using Molecular Orbital Package 2016 (MOPAC2016) on the overall hit compound with controls to determine the stability and reactivity of the lead molecule. The findings showed that eight (8) novel molecules violated none of the druglikeness rules of which three (3) novel molecules (C33, C35 and C54) showed the utmost binding affinity of -8.3 kcal/mol against Mpro; C33 showed a good in silico pharmacokinetic features with acceptable level of stability and reactively better than our controls based on the quantum chemical descriptors analysis. However, there is an urgent need to carry out more research on these novel molecules for the fight against the disease.
