Broad-Spectrum Virucidal Activity of Nitric Oxide Nasal Spray (NONS) Against SARS-CoV-2 Variants and Major Respiratory Viruses.

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
Respiratory viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, influenzas A and B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (hMPV), human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV-3), and rhinoviruses remain major causes of global morbidity. Their rapid evolution, high transmissibility, and limited therapeutic options, together with the absence of approved vaccines for several pathogens, highlight the need for broad-acting and pathogen-independent antiviral strategies. Nitric oxide exhibits antiviral activity through redox-dependent mechanisms, including S-nitrosylation of cysteine-containing viral proteins and disruption of redox-sensitive structural domains. Clinical studies conducted during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic demonstrated that a nitric oxide nasal spray (NONS) rapidly reduced nasal viral load and transmission. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro virucidal activity of the NONS against a panel of clinically relevant respiratory viruses representing four major virus families.
