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

Emerging viral threats highlight the urgent need for antivirals targeting viral replication mechanisms. Based on previous research, we expanded a series of asymmetric benzene-1,4-disulfonamides. As these proved to be synthetically challenging and generally more toxic than expected, we optimized a hit structure by omitting one sulfonamide group. The resulting compound combines micromolar antiviral efficacy with low toxicity and straightforward synthesis. Molecular docking and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assays confirmed that the compound targets the NS5 RNA polymerase domain of dengue virus-2, blocking its interaction with NS3 and thereby inhibiting viral replication. A focused series of structural analogs further demonstrated the essential contribution of each individual part of the hit molecule.
