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

Suraxavir marboxil (GP681) is an antiviral drug inhibiting the polymerase acidic protein (PA) of RNA polymerase, of influenza. It has shown therapeutic activity against influenza A and B virus infections in preclinical studies. In this multicenter randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of single-dose suraxavir marboxil (40-mg oral dose) in otherwise healthy outpatients aged 5-65 years with uncomplicated influenza unaccompanied by severe issues. From 28 July 2022 to 31 October 2023, 591 outpatients aged 5-65 years with uncomplicated influenza underwent randomization in 46 research centers in China and were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive suraxavir marboxil (40 mg) or placebo within 2 days of symptom onset. The primary outcome was time to alleviation of influenza symptoms (TTAS) (from the start of treatment until body temperature returned to 37.2 °C or less and all seven influenza symptoms (cough, sore throat, headache, nasal congestion, feverishness or chills, muscle or joint pain, and fatigue) resolved for at least 21.5 h) within 15 days by treatment. The secondary endpoints included virological indicators, system and respiratory symptoms, PA variant mutation and adverse events. The median TTAS was significantly shorter in the group that received suraxavir marboxil compared to the placebo group (42.0 h versus 63.0 h, P = 0.002). Suraxavir marboxil was associated with more rapid decrease in viral load from baseline than placebo by 1 day after administration, with a mean change of -2.2 ± 1.3 compared to -1.3 ± 1.7 log
