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

D614G is one of the most reported mutations in the spike protein of SARS-COV-2 that has altered some crucial characteristics of coronaviruses, such as rate of infection and binding affinities. The binding affinity of different antiviral drugs was evaluated using rigid molecular docking. The reliability of the docking results was evaluated with the induced-fit docking method, and a better understanding of the drug-protein interactions was performed using molecular dynamics simulation. The results show that the D614G variant could change the binding affinity of antiviral drugs and spike protein remarkably. Although Cytarabine showed an appropriate interaction with the wild spike protein, Ribavirin and PMEG diphosphate exhibited a significant binding affinity to the mutated spike protein. The parameters of the ADME/T analysis showed that these drugs are suitable for further in-vitro and in-vivo investigation. D614G alteration affected the binding affinity of the RBD and its receptor on the cell surface.
