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

In the COVID-19 pandemic, drug repositioning has presented itself as an alternative to the time-consuming process of generating new drugs. This review describes a drug repurposing process that is based on a new data-driven approach: we put forward five information paths that associate COVID-19-related genes and COVID-19 symptoms with drugs that directly target these gene products, that target the symptoms or that treat diseases that are symptomatically or genetically similar to COVID-19. The intersection of the five information paths results in a list of 13 drugs that we suggest as potential candidates against COVID-19. In addition, we have found information in published studies and in clinical trials that support the therapeutic potential of the drugs in our final list.
