Probenecid Inhibits Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) Replication In Vitro and in BALB/c Mice.
Article in Viruses, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important cause of acute respiratory tract infection and causes significant morbidity and mortality. There is no specific antiviral drug to treat HMPV or vaccine to prevent HMPV. This study determined if probenecid, a host-targeting antiviral drug, had prophylactic (pre-virus) or therapeutic (post-virus) efficacy to inhibit HMPV replication in LLC-MK2 cells in vitro and in the lungs of BALB/c mice. This study showed that ≥0.5 μM probenecid significantly inhibited HMPV replication in vitro, and 2-200 mg/kg probenecid prophylaxis or treatment reduced HMPV replication in BALB/c mice.
