The protein disulfide isomerase inhibitor 3-methyltoxoflavin inhibits Chikungunya virus.

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
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is the etiological agent of chikungunya fever, a (re)emerging arbovirus infection, that causes severe and often persistent arthritis, as well as representing a serious health concern worldwide for which no antivirals are currently available. Despite efforts over the last decade to identify and optimize new inhibitors or to reposition existing drugs, no compound has progressed to clinical trials for CHIKV and current prophylaxis is based on vector control, which has shown limited success in containing the virus. Our efforts to rectify this situation were initiated by screening 36 compounds using a replicon system and ultimately identified the natural product derivative 3-methyltoxoflavin with activity against CHIKV using a cell-based assay (EC
