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

Since the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, many genetic variations within its genome have been identified, but only a few mutations have been found in nonstructural proteins (NSPs). Among this class of viral proteins, NSP3 is a multidomain protein with 16 different domains, and its largest domain is known as the macrodomain or Mac1 domain. In this study, we present a virtual screening campaign in which we computationally evaluated the NCI anticancer library against the NSP3 Mac1 domain, using Molegro Virtual Docker. The top hits with the best MolDock and Re-Rank scores were selected. The physicochemical analysis and drug-like potential of the top hits were analyzed using the SwissADME data server. The binding stability and affinity of the top NSC compounds against the NSP3 Mac1 domain were analyzed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, using Desmond software, and their interaction energies were analyzed using the MM/GBSA method. In particular, by applying subsequent computational filters, we identified 10 compounds as possible NSP3 Mac1 domain inhibitors. Among them, after the assessment of binding energies (ΔG
