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 transmembrane receptor Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) was reported to serve as a host cell entry factor for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causal agent of COVID-19 disease. Therefore, molecular compounds interfering with SARS-CoV-2 binding to NRP-1 seem to be potential candidates as new antiviral drugs. In this study, NRP-1 receptor was targeted using a library of 1167 compounds previously analyzed in COVID-19 related studies. The results show the effectiveness of Nafamostat, Y96, Selinexor, Ebastine and UGS, in binding to NRP-1 receptor, with docking scores lower than - 8.2 kcal/mol. These molecules interact with NRP-1 receptor key residues, which makes them promising drugs to pursue further biological assays to explore their potential use in the treatment of COVID-19.
