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

Human enteroviruses are important pathogens of hand-foot-and-mouth disease, poliomyelitis, and encephalitis, etc., posing substantial global health burdens with no specific approved therapeutics. While traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated antiviral potential during the COVID-19 pandemic, its efficacy and pharmacodynamic material basis against enteroviruses remains underexplored. Here, we systematically characterized the broad-spectrum anti-enterovirus activity of Huashi Baidu Formula (HSBDF), a clinically approved TCM for COVID-19, and identified three flavonoid compounds as its active components responsible for this antiviral effect. Transcriptomics analysis revealed that HSBDF attenuated CV-A9-induced inflammation by modulating MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) analysis identified 152 chemical compounds in HSBDF, among which three flavonoids-velutin, isorhamnetin, and (-)-epicatechin gallate-exhibited potent pan-enteroviral inhibition. Mechanistically, these compounds suppressed the activity of 3C proteases in enteroviruses, while concurrently attenuating CV-A9-induced upregulation of IL-6, TNF-α, MCP-1, and COX-2. Utilizing a BALB/c young mouse model, it was demonstrated that the HSBDF and its compound velutin effectively suppressed viral replication in vivo. Collectively, this study advances TCM-based strategies for enterovirus therapy exemplified by HSBDF and highlights flavonoid scaffolds as promising candidates for developing broad-spectrum anti-enteroviral agents.
