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

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated the importance of human coronaviruses and the need to develop materials to prevent the spread of emergent respiratory viruses. Coating of surfaces with antiviral materials is a major interest in controlling spread of viruses, especially in high-risk or high-traffic areas. A number of different coatings for surfaces have been proposed, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Here we show that simple salt coating on a range of surfaces, including a novel biomass aerogel can reduce the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2 placed onto the surface. This suggests that a simple to apply coating could be applied to a range of materials and have an antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-2, as well as other potential emerging viruses.
