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

Both polysialosides and polysulfates are known to interact with the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. However, a comprehensive site by site analysis of their binding affinities and potential synergistic antiviral effects have not been performed. Here, we report on the synthesis of polysialosides with nanomolar binding affinities to spike proteins of SARS-CoV-2 in solution using microscale thermophoresis. The dendritic polyglycerol based polysialosides dPG
