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

Flavonoids possess various biological activities, including the ability to inhibit SARS-CoV-2. This study aimed to synthesize 3',4'-dimethoxyflavonol (F34) and assess its potential as an anti-SARS-CoV-2 agent. F34 was synthesized using the Flynn-Algar-Oyamada reaction, and molecular docking studies were performed using the MOE 2022.02 software, utilizing the SARS-CoV-2 crystal structure (PDB ID: 6M2N) from the RCSB Protein Data Bank. To further investigate the binding stability of F34, pharmacophore analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were conducted. The synthesis yielded F34 at 75.23% yield, as confirmed by 1 H-NMR, FT-IR, and UV-Vis analyses. Docking results indicated that F34 interacted with key amino acid residues in the SARS-CoV-2 active site, with a binding free energy of -8.42 kcal/mol and an RMSD of 1.03. F34 forms a hydrogen bond with Gly143 and His164, and interacts with the catalytic dyad residues His41 and Cys145, which are crucial for SARS-CoV-2 inhibition. MD simulations further suggested stable hydrogen-bond interactions between F34 and Gly143/His164 at distances below 2.9 Å. These findings suggest that F34 could be a promising SARS-CoV-2 inhibitor.
