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 (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak led to enormous social and economic repercussions worldwide, felt even to this date, making the design of new therapies to combat fast-spreading viruses an imperative task. In the face of this, diverse cutting-edge nanotechnologies have risen as promising tools to treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, as well as challenging illnesses such as cancer and diabetes. Aside from these applications, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) have attracted much attention as novel efficient drug delivery systems for diverse pathologies. However, their potential as anti-COVID-19 therapeutic agents has not been investigated. Herein, we propose a pioneering anti-COVID MOF approach by studying their potential as safe and intrinsically antiviral agents through screening various nanoMOF. The iron(III)-trimesate MIL-100 showed a noteworthy antiviral effect against SARS-CoV-2 at the micromolar range, ensuring a high biocompatibility profile (90% of viability) in a real infected human cellular scenario. This research effectively paves the way toward novel antiviral therapies based on nanoMOFs, not only against SARS-CoV-2 but also against other challenging infectious and/or pulmonary diseases.
