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

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for more than 5 M deaths and is reported in 223 countries infecting 250+ M people. Despite the current vaccination momentum, thousands of people die every day by COVID-19. Suggesting possible blockers of the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is highly needed for potential effective therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2. This study utilizes combined molecular dynamics simulation and molecular docking to test novel guanosine derivatives against SARS-CoV-2 RdRp. Results reveal the binding potency of nineteen guanosine derivatives against SARS-CoV-2 solved structures. The bulky moieties (hydroxyl or fluorated phenyl moieties) added to the 2' position of the ribose ring positively impacted the binding affinity to RdRp. The current
