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

Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV-3) can cause severe respiratory diseases, particularly in young children, the elderly and immunocompromised. There are no approved antiviral drugs against this virus. We report that the combination of ribavirin with either remdesivir or its parent nucleoside GS-441524 results in a pronounced antiviral effect against HPIV-3 in LLC-MK2 cells and in human airway epithelial cells grown at the air-liquid interface. In AG129 mice intranasally inoculated with HPIV-3, the combined treatment with ribavirin and GS-441524 decreased infectious viral lung titers by >2.5 log
