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

Objective: The emergence of Acyclovir-Resistant Herpes Simplex Virus type-1, which is the result of clinical over usage calls for the urgent need of a novel anti-HSV agent. Hence, the activity of Triptolide (TP) and (S)-10-Hydroxycamptothecin (10-HCPT) were investigated as natural products in two infection models of HSV-1. Methods: The antiviral efficacy of TP and 10-HCPT was evaluated in mice ocular and cutaneous infection models of HSV. Groups of 10 mice were infected with HSV-1. Both compounds were administered topically on corneal and skin. The disease severity, viral titer (plaque reduction assay), and histopathology were evaluated in the ocular and cutaneous models of HSV-1 infection on days 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 post infection, as well as genome loads on days 3 and 12. Results: Topical treatment of corneal with TP, 10-HCPT, and ACV was effective in reducing stromal disease (after day 3, Conclusions: This study revealed the virologic and clinical potential of TP
