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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesAngiotensin-converting enzyme-related carboxypeptidase, SARS-Coronavirus HR2 Domain, and COVID-19 main protease are essential for the cellular entry and replication of coronavirus in the host. This study investigated the putative inhibitory action of peptides form medicinal mushrooms, namely MATERIALS AND

methodsThe respective physicochemical properties of selected peptides were predicted using ProtParam tool, while the binding modes and binding free energy of selected peptides toward proteins were computed through HawkDock server. The structural flexibility and stability of docked protein-peptide complexes were assessed through iMODS server.

resultsThe peptides showed an optimum binding afinity with the molecular targets; plectasin from

conclusionThe study revealed fungal-based peptides could be explored as functional modulators of essential proteins that are involved in the cellular entry of coronavirus.
