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

Nectin-1/herpes simplex virus glycoprotein D (HSV gD) interaction is crucial to drive herpes simplex virus (HSV) entry. Polyanions are known to show great potential as antivirals. Thus, we explored a peptide-based biotherapeutic approach and, for the first time, evaluated an anionic peptide derived from nectin-1 designed to bind HSV gD. Peptides enriched in acidic and basic residues were selected and computationally modeled using PEP-FOLD3, PROCHECK, ClusPro 2.0, and Desmond. Their antiviral efficacy was tested through virucidal, cell pretreatment, attachment inhibition, entry inhibition, and cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assays using a 10 TCID
