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

backgroundThe coronavirus helicase NSP13 plays a critical role in its life cycle. The found NSP13 inhibitors have been tested only in vitro but they definitely have the potential to become antiviral drugs. Thus, the search for NSP13 inhibitors is of great importance.

objectivesThe goal of the present work was to develop a general approach to the design of ligands of coronaviral NSP13 helicase and to propose on its basis potential inhibitors.

methodsThe structure of the NSP13 protein was refined by molecular dynamics and the cavity, responsible for RNA binding, was chosen as the inhibitor binding site. The potential inhibitor structures were identified by molecular docking and their binding was verified by molecular dynamics simulation.

resultsA number of potential NSP13 inhibitors were identified and the binding modes and probable mechanism of action of potential inhibitors was clarified.

conclusionUsing the molecular dynamics and molecular docking techniques, we have refined the structure of the coronavirus NSP13 helicase, a number of potential inhibitors, containing cage fragment were proposed and their probable mechanism of action was clarified. The proposed approach is also suitable for the design of ligands interacting with other viral helicases.
