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

backgroundAt present, about half of the world's population is at risk of being infected with dengue virus (DENV). However, there are no specific drugs to prevent or treat DENV infection. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizome, a well-known traditional Chinese medicine, performs multiple pharmacological activities, including exerting antiviral effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-DENV effects of

methodsCompounds analysis of GRE was conducted via ultra-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The antiviral activities of GRE were determined by the CCK-8 assay, plaque assay, qRT-PCR, Western blotting, and the immunofluorescence assay. The DENV-infected suckling mice model was constructed to explore the antiviral effects of GRE in vivo.

resultsFour components in GRE were analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS, including glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetnic acid, liquiritigenin, and isoliquiritigenin. GRE inhibited the attachment process of the virus replication cycle and reduced the expression of the E protein in cell models. In the in vivo study, GRE significantly relieved clinical symptoms and prolong survival duration. GRE also significantly decreased viremia, reduced the viral load in multiple organs, and inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines in DENV-infected suckling mice.

conclusionsGRE exhibited significant inhibitory activities in the adsorption stage of the DENV-2 replication cycle by targeting the envelope protein. Thus, GRE might be a promising candidate for the treatment of DENV infection.
