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 recalcitrant spread of the COVID-19 pandemic produced by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 is one of the most destructive occurrences in history. Despite the availability of several effective vaccinations and their widespread use, this line of immunization often faces questions about its long-term efficacy. Since coronaviruses rapidly change, and multiple SARS-CoV-2 variants have emerged around the world. Therefore, finding a new target-based medication became a priority to prevent and control COVID-19 infections. The main protease (Mpro) is a salient enzyme in coronaviruses that plays a vital role in viral replication, making it a fascinating therapeutic target for SARS-CoV-2. We screened 0.2 million natural products against the Mpro of SARS-CoV-2 using the Universal Natural Product Database (UNPD). As well, we studied the role of ionic liquids (ILs) on the structural stabilization of Mpro. Cholinium-based ILs are biocompatible and used for a variety of biomedical applications. Molecular docking was employed for the initial screening of natural products and ILs against Mpro. To predict the drug-likeness features of lead compounds, we calculated the ADMET properties. We performed MD simulations for the selected complexes based on the docking outcomes. Using MM/PBSA approaches, we conclude that compounds NP-Hit2 (-25.6 kcal mol
