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

Most of the antiviral drugs in the market are designed to target viral proteins directly. They are generally considered safe for human use. However, they also suffer from several inherent limitations, in particular, narrow-spectrum antiviral profiles and liability to drug resistance. The other strategy for antiviral drug development is targeting host factors, which are highly involved at different stages in the viral life cycle. In contrast to direct-acting antiviral agents, host-targeting antiviral ones normally exhibit broad-spectrum antiviral properties along with a much higher genetic barrier to drug resistance. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) represent one such host factor. In this review, we summarized a number of CDK inhibitors (CDKIs) of varied chemical scaffolds with demonstrated antiviral activity. Challenges and issues associated with the repurposing of CDKIs as antiviral agents were also discussed.
