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 WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency due to its rapid spread. In response, the FDA authorized emergency use of the Jynneos vaccine despite its adverse effects, while smallpox antivirals, repurposed for monkeypox treatment, have shown limited efficacy, highlighting the need for better therapeutics that are biocompatible, less toxic, and more accessible. Tea bioactives, known for their antiviral properties, were evaluated using an in silico approach to target viral enzymes: polymerase holoenzyme and methyltransferase. A total of 68 bioactives, mainly polyphenols from tea, were analyzed through molecular docking. Among them, digalloylprocyanidin B2, TSB, and NTF showed the lowest binding energies of -9.6441 kcal mol
