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

Quercetin belongs to the flavonoid family, which is one of the most frequent types of plant phenolics. This flavonoid compound is a natural substance having a number of pharmacological effects, including anticancer and antioxidant capabilities, as well as being a strong inhibitor of various toxicologically important enzymes. We discuss the potential of newly recently synthesized quercetin-based derivatives to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 protein. ADMET analysis indicated that all of the studied compounds had low toxicities and good absorption and solubility properties. The molecular docking results revealed that the propensity for binding to SARS-CoV-2 main protease is extraordinary. The results are remarkable not only for the binding energy values, which outperform several compounds in prior studies, but also for the number of hydrogen bonds formed. Compound 7a was capable of forming 10 strong hydrogen bonds as well as interact to the protein receptor with a binding energy of -7.79 kcal/mol. Therefore, these compounds should be highlighted in further experimental studies in the context of treating SARS-CoV-2 infection and its effects.
