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

aimChikungunya fever (CHIKF) caused by the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is characterized by the presence of long-term polyarthralgia in a minor proportion of the infected patients. Currently, there are no FDA-approved antivirals available. This study evaluated the anti-CHIKV potential of 16 synthetic 3-amino-2-thiocyanato-α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and elucidated their probable mechanisms of action.

methodsAnti-CHIKV activity of 16 compounds were investigated in Vero CCL-81 cells using focus forming unit assay (FFU). Dose-dependent and time-dependent antiviral assays were performed for the effective compounds. Molecular docking was performed to find out their interactions with viral proteins.

resultsFive compounds showed promising anti-CHIKV activity by reducing viral titer with >1 log

conclusionsThese findings demonstrate the in vitro anti-CHIKV activity of these compounds, and their possible mode of action via interference with early stages of infection and replication processes. This study warrants further preclinical and clinical evaluation to establish their safety and efficacy as novel anti-CHIKV therapeutics.
