Ribavirin in Modern Antitumor Therapy: Prospects for Intranasal Administration.
Review in Current drug delivery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ribavirin has been used as an antiviral agent to treat a variety of viral infections since the 1970s. Over the past few decades, studies have been conducted on the pharmacology of ribavirin, and the possibility of its use in new indications has been explored. According to the results of a number of studies, ribavirin efficacy in the therapy of malignant neoplasms of various genesis has been proven. Furthermore, due to the complexity of brain tumor therapy using surgical methods, targeted delivery of ribavirin to the brain becomes a promising alternative to existing treatment methods. Targeting of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to the brain tumor is achieved by intranasal drug delivery via a Nose-to-Brain mechanism. In addition, using this delivery mechanism, it is possible to reach the brain while bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB), thus avoiding the effects of the first passage through the liver. Despite the significant advantages of the method, there are limiting factors to its application - mucociliary clearance, which aims to remove foreign bodies from the surface of the nasal mucosa.
