Rational design and in vivo validation of capsid inhibitors for enterovirus D68.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is a respiratory virus that causes neurological complications such as acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and death in children. No vaccine or antiviral is available for EV-D68. We report the structure-based design of the EV-D68 VP1 capsid inhibitors with in vivo antiviral efficacy in a neonatal mouse model of EV-D68-associated paralytic myelitis. Cryo-EM structures show that Jun11787 and Jun11695 bind the hydrophobic canyon region in VP1 and display nanomolar potency against multiple EV-D68 strains and single-digit micromolar potency against EV-A71 and CVB3 in vitro. Jun11787 and Jun11695 also significantly reduce the spinal cord viral titer, prevent the progression of paralysis, and improve weight gain in EV-D68-infected male and female mice when treatment is initiated immediately, 24 h, and even 4-6 days post-infection. Overall, Jun11787 and Jun11695 represent promising leads for treating EV-D68 infection.
