On the Selectivity of Heparan Sulfate Recognition by SARS-CoV-2 Spike Glycoprotein.
Article in ACS medicinal chemistry letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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.
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
SARS-CoV-2 infects human cells through its surface spike glycoprotein (SgP), which relies on host cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) proteoglycans that facilitate interaction with the ACE2 receptor. Targeting this process could lead to inhibitors of early steps in viral entry. Screening a microarray of 24 HS oligosaccharides against recombinant S1 and receptor-binding domain (RBD) proteins led to identification of only eight sequences as potent antagonists; results that were supported by detailed dual-filter computational studies. Competitive studies using the HS microarray suggested almost equivalent importance of IdoA2S-GlcNS6S and GlcNS3S structures, which were supported by affinity studies. Exhaustive virtual screening on a library of >93 000 sequences led to a novel pharmacophore with at least two 3-
