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

Animal viral infections represent a growing public health concern, as animals serve as reservoirs for pathogens, threatening food safety, biodiversity, and human health. In response, novel antiviral strategies are urgently needed. This study investigates the antiviral activity and structural properties of two antimicrobial peptides, pantinin-1 and pantinin-2, both derived from the venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator, against caprine herpesvirus 1 (CpHV-1) and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1). The results obtained from the plaque reduction assay and the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) indicate that synthetic pantinin-mimetic peptides exhibited potent antiviral effects at concentrations ranging from 6-25 µM, impairing viral infectivity through direct virucidal action and inhibition of the viral entry and fusion with host cell. To characterize their structural behavior, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is performed in aqueous and membrane-mimetic environments (trifluoroethanol (TFE)/H
