SuFEx-enabled high-throughput medicinal chemistry for developing potent tamoxifen analogs as Ebola virus entry inhibitors.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate in humans. In acute infection, an abnormal immune response results in excessive inflammatory cytokines and uncontrolled systemic inflammation that can result in organ damage and multi-organ failure. While vaccines and monoclonal antibody therapies are available, there is an urgent need for effective small-molecule antivirals against EBOV. Here, we report on the optimization of tamoxifen, an EBOV-glycoprotein (GP) binder that inhibits viral entry, using our Sulfur-Fluoride Exchange (SuFEx) click chemistry-based high-throughput medicinal chemistry (HTMC) strategy. Using a "Direct-to-Biology" approach, we generated a focused library of 2,496 tamoxifen analogs overnight and screened them in a cell-based pseudo-EBOV infection assay. The HTMC workflow enabled the development of a potent EBOV entry inhibitor with submicromolar EC
