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

Betacoronaviruses encompass a spectrum of respiratory diseases, from common cold caused by the human coronavirus (HCoV)-OC43 to life-threatening severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV-2. Addressing the constant need for novel antiviral compounds, we turned to the exploration of 40 plant-specialized metabolites produced by the medicinal plant family Amaryllidaceae, known to produce lycorine, a strong antiviral alkaloid. The present screen included 35 alkaloids with representatives of 8 ring-type structures. Pancracine, crinamine, hemanthamine, and hemanthidine exhibited potency comparable to lycorine in blocking HCoV-OC43 replication, while amarbellisine demonstrated superior efficacy (SI = 60, EC
