Discovery of natural products as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors: in silico screening, in vitro validation, and molecular dynamic simulation studies.
Article in Molecular diversity, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness that imposes a significant global burden. Antiviral neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) such as oseltamivir (OC) have been proven essential, but the emergence of resistant viral strains necessitates the development of novel therapies. This study explored the potential of natural products as alternative NAIs. We used virtual screening against the Chinese Ethnic Characteristic Drug Database, followed by Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics Generalized Born Surface Area (QM/MM-GBSA) rescoring with ligands treated as QM region. Compounds preserved from docking-based virtual screening were reranked based on QM/MM-GBSA scores, and the top 15 compounds with binding free energy lower than that of native inhibitor OC were selected for NA inhibitory assay. Among the tested compounds, compounds T6S0444 (Salvianolic acid A) demonstrated significant inhibitory activity against both wild-type and H274Y-mutated influenza NAs, suggesting their potential as novel anti-influenza agents. Specifically, compound T6S0444 exhibited greater inhibitory activity against N2-H274Y than the wild-type N2, with IC
