In Vitro efficacy of cyclosporine a and various antiseptics and antiviral drugs on adenovirus genotype 8, a common cause of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the in vitro efficacy of cidofovir, ganciclovir, povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, and cyclosporine A on adenovirus genotype 8.
methodsConjunctival samples were collected from patients with adenoviral conjunctivitis and cultured in A549 cells. Adenovirus diagnosis was confirmed by RT-PCR. For each drug, the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC 50 ) was determined. Subsequently, the antiviral activity was tested at concentrations below CC 50, and the 50% inhibitor concentration (IC 50 ) of drugs was determined
resultsWhile the IC 50 of cidofovir against adenovirus genotype 8 was 3.07 ± 0.8 µM, ganciclovir, povidone-iodine, chlorhexidine, and cyclosporine A were not found to be effective against adenovirus genotype 8 at concentrations below the CC 50 value.
conclusionsCidofovir was found effective and the IC 50 value was within the ranges in the literature. Ganciclovir and cyclosporine A were found to be ineffective at doses below the cytotoxic dose, povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine was found to be highly cytotoxic.
