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

AT-9010 (2'-methyl-2'-fluoro guanosine triphosphate) is a GTP analog whose prodrug, AT-752 is under consideration in human medicine as a potential antiviral drug against certain flaviviruses. It was previously believed to inhibit viral replication by acting primarily as a chain terminator. However, it was discovered recently that it also binds the GTP binding site of the methyltransferase (MTase) domain of the orthoflavivirus polymerase, thus interfering with RNA capping. Here, we investigated the binding of AT-9010 to Ntaya and Zika virus MTases. Structural analysis using X-ray crystallography revealed similar interactions between the base and sugar moieties of AT-9010 and key residues in both MTases, although differences in hydrogen bonding were observed. Our analysis also suggested that the triphosphate part of AT-9010 is flexible. Despite minor variations, the overall binding mode of AT-9010 was found to be the same for all of the flaviviral MTases examined, suggesting a structural basis for the efficacy of AT-9010 against multiple orthoflavivirus MTases.
