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

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication requires a metal-dependent endonuclease at the C-terminus of pUL89 (pUL89-C) for viral genome packaging and cleavage. We have previously shown that pUL89-C can be pharmacologically inhibited with designed metal-chelating compounds. We report herein the synthesis of a few 8-hydroxy-1,6-naphthyridine subtypes, including 5-chloro (subtype 15), 5-aryl (subtype 16), and 5-amino (subtype 17) variants. Analogs were studied for the inhibition of pUL89-C in a biochemical endonuclease assay, a biophysical thermal shift assay (TSA), in silico molecular docking, and for the antiviral potential against HCMV in cell-based assays. These studies identified eight analogs of 8-hydroxy-1,6-naphthyridine-7-carboxamide subtypes for further characterization, most of which inhibited pUL89-C with single-digit μM IC
