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

Despite the considerable clinical and economic burden imposed by hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection, both globally and in U.S., there are currently no available antiviral therapies for the treatment of type A hepatitis. Here we describe novel third-generation hepato-selective dihydroquinolizinones (HS-DHQs) with cellular uptake mediated by transport via hepatocyte-specific solute organic anion transporter family members 1B1 and 1B3 (OATP1B1-B3). The lead HS-DHQ compound, HS83128, demonstrates robust inhibition of the host cell TENT4A/B terminal nucleotidyltransferases required for efficient HAV RNA synthesis (IC
