Augmented antiviral activity of chlorhexidine gluconate on herpes simplex virus type 1, H1N1 influenza A virus, and adenovirus in combination with salicylic acid.

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
backgroundThe excessive usage of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial reagent can have a negative impact on the environment and on human health. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of some plant-derived compounds in reducing the CHG concentration required to exert its antiviral activity.
methodsAntiviral assays were conducted according to EN 14476 (2019) against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), H1N1 influenza A virus, and adenovirus type 5 (Ad-5) as enveloped and non-enveloped viral models to assess the synergistic interaction of CHG and natural additive compounds.
resultsThe effective concentration of 0.247 mM CHG against HSV-1 was decreased tenfold in combination with 0.0125 mM salicylic acid, with a titer reduction of 1.47 ⋅ 10
conclusionOur supplemented CHG formulation showed immediate antiviral effectiveness, which is important for management of the infections. CHG can be combined with salicylic acid to exhibit synergistic antiviral activity at lower concentrations and reduce the time required for inactivation. Furthermore, in the presence of interfering substances, the combination has higher antiviral activity than CHG alone.
