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

backgroundIn the search for anti-COVID-19 therapy, 1,2,3,4,6-pentakis-O-galloyl-β- D-glucopyranoside, a natural polyphenolic compound isolated from many traditional medicinal herbs, has been reported as an RBD-ACE2 binding inhibitor and as a broad-spectrum anticoronaviral inhibitor targeting the main protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of SARSCoV- 2. To facilitate the structure-activity relationship studies of 1,2,3,4,6-pentakis-O-galloyl-β-Dglucopyranoside, we describe its chemical synthesis and characterization, as well as its activity towards the SARS-CoV-2 spike interaction with host ACE2 receptor.

methods1,2,3,4,6-Pentakis-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside was synthesized in two quantitative steps from 3,4,5-tribenzyloxybenzoic acid and β-D-glucopyranoside: DCC-mediated esterification and palladium-catalyzed per-debenzylation. The synthesized molecule was evaluated using a SARS-CoV-2 spike trimer (S1 + S2) ACE2 inhibitor screening colorimetric assay kit, SARS-CoV- 2 spike S1 RBD ACE2 inhibitor screening assay kit, and a cellular neutralization assay using the Spike (SARS-CoV-2) Pseudotyped Lentivirus, ACE2-HEK293 recombinant cell line.

resultsThe chemically synthesized product blocked the binding of the spike trimer of SARSCoV- 2 to the human ACE2 receptor with IC

conclusionOverall, the chemically synthesized 1,2,3,4,6-pentakis-O-galloyl-β-D-glucopyranoside represents a lead molecule to develop anti-SARS-CoV-2 therapies that block the initial stage of the viral infection by blocking the virus entry to the host cell.
