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

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants with enhanced transmissibility and immune evasion underscores the urgent need for broad-spectrum antiviral therapeutics. In this study, we strategically engineered a novel dual-targeting peptide inhibitor, R1L25HR2, by conjugating the receptor-binding domain (RBD)-targeting peptide R1 with the heptad repeat 1 (HR1)-targeting peptide HR2 through an optimized 25-mer flexible linker (GGGGS)5, aiming to simultaneously block viral attachment and membrane fusion. R1L25HR2 potently and broadly inhibits the infection of SARS-CoV-2 and its emerging variants, including recent circulating strains JN.1 and KP.2, with IC
