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

Viral drug resistance remains a critical challenge in antiviral therapy. This perspective highlights five studies on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), monkeypox virus (MPXV), influenza A virus (IAV), and Hepatitis B virus (HBV), revealing novel resistance mechanisms and innovative strategies. For SARS-CoV-2, GC376's flexible benzyl group overcomes nirmatrelvir resistance. HIV-1's non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) 5i3 adapts to resistant mutants via a quinazoline scaffold, while MPXV's tecovirimat acts as a "molecular glue" stabilizing F13 dimers. Expanding these paradigms, we present groundbreaking insights: An indazole-based IAV inhibitor (compound 24) disrupts the conserved PA-PB1 heterodimer, showing sub-micromolar potency against resistant strains. For HBV, a hydrophobic tagging degrader (HyT-S7) induces HBc degradation, bypassing resistance mutations impairing traditional capsid modulators. Key strategies include dynamic flexibility, multivalent interactions, and oligomerization control, integrated with AI-driven design and real-time surveillance. This perspective bridges structural insights with translational applications, offering a roadmap for next-generation, mutation-resilient antivirals.
