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

The research investigates synthetic hydroxytyrosol (HT) antiviral properties against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses using in silico and in vitro methods. Molecular docking and ADMET analyses suggested favorable interactions of HT with ceramide and sphingomyelin (binding energies of -6.0 and -5.9 kcal/mol, respectively). Favorable predicted pharmacokinetics and safety profiles were also observed. In vitro tests provided preliminary evidence of the dose- and time-dependent virucidal effect of HT against several enveloped viruses, including HSV-1, West Nile virus, SARS-CoV-2 and various influenza A subtypes, which resulted in substantial viral load decreases at 1000 µg/mL. The viral titer of the measles virus decreased by 4.62 log
