Unveiling the Broad-Spectrum Virucidal Potential of Purified Clinoptilolite-Tuff.
Article in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Due to its remarkable surface properties, natural clinoptilolite-tuff interacts with a variety of biochemical, pharmaceutical, chemical, and microbiological entities, including human viruses. In the present work, the virucidal activity of purified clinoptilolite-tuff (PCT) was investigated using a variety of viruses, differing in their structure and composition. Influenza A virus, Herpes Simplex virus, Rhinovirus, and Parvovirus were chosen to represent enveloped and non-enveloped viruses with RNA and DNA genomes. Beside human viruses, Canine Parvovirus and bacteriophages T4 and MS2 were used to represent animal and bacterial viruses, respectively. The virucidal activity of PCT was quantified by examining the residual viral activity on susceptible cell lines upon incubation with PCT. A wide range of antiviral efficiencies was observed, ranging from up to 99% for Herpes Simplex virus to no activity for Rhinovirus and both bacteriophages. This study reveals that the virucidal potential of PCT is not universal and depends on a complex set of factors including virus structure and medium composition. The environmental and medical implications of this research are discussed for uses such as wastewater treatment or wound healing.
