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

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the pathogen of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has infected hundreds of millions of people and caused millions of deaths. Looking for valid druggable targets with minimal side effects for the treatment of COVID-19 remains critical. After discovering host genes from multiscale omics data, we developed an end-to-end network method to investigate drug-host gene(s)-coronavirus (CoV) paths and the mechanism of action between the drug and the host factor in a directional network. We also inspected the potential side effect of the candidate drug on several common comorbidities. We established a catalog of host genes associated with three CoVs. Rule-based prioritization yielded 29 Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs via accounting for the effects of drugs on CoVs, comorbidities, and drug-target confidence information. Seven drugs are currently undergoing clinical trials as COVID-19 treatment. This catalog of druggable host genes associated with CoVs and the prioritized repurposed drugs will provide a new sight in therapeutics discovery for severe COVID-19 patients.
