Comparative analysis of phytocompounds and repurposed drugs against dengue virus serotypes employing an in silico study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Dengue virus (DENV) has emerged as a formidable global health challenge, with a surging incidence rate across the world. Despite numerous research initiatives aimed at developing effective antiviral therapy, no clinically proven drug or vaccine has been identified to combat all four genetically diverse serotypes of DENV. Therefore, comparative analysis of repurposed drugs and phytocompounds against all DENV serotypes is critical in the search for an effective long-term solution to this menacing disease. 93 phytocompounds and 15 drugs were shortlisted from the literature and screened using DataWarrior 5.5.0, from which 10 phytocompounds and 10 drugs were selected for further analysis. Molecular docking was performed by using AutoDockVina tool. Toxicity and drug likeness activity of standard drugs and phytoconstituents was done by using online servers. The current study showed that among all the selected phytoconstituents, lupiwighteone showed the best binding energy, favorable pharmacokinetics and no toxicity with all the selected serotypes of DENV. The MD simulation result supported the stability of lupiwighteone in complexes with NS3, NS5 and E-Protein. This study identifies lupiwighteone as a promising antiviral candidate with favorable drug-like properties against DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 serotypes. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo study is required for the validation of antiviral activity of Lupiwighteone against dengue virus.
