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

Influenza neuraminidase (NA) is a critical target for seasonal and pandemic antivirals, including the strains of current concern. Current treatments, such as Zanamivir and Oseltamivir, are limited by noncovalent binding and emerging resistance. We hypothesized that Oseltamivir aziridines would unite transition-state mimicry for tight binding, with aziridine-enabled covalent capture of the catalytic tyrosine, thereby supporting both therapy and activity-based quantification. Here, we present oseltamivir-based aziridines, inspired by cyclophellitol chemistry, that act as covalent inhibitors and activity-based probes via an
