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

Discovery of polypharmacological agents, inhibiting targets, either the same or diverse pathways, is an emerging paradigm in drug discovery. Designing such a candidate is challenging due to the lack of structural and dynamical consensus determinants of interacting partners. We identified a dual target inhibitor, 7D (mono-peptide of benzimidazole), a dengue antiviral lead against host proteins (Sirt1 and CXCR3) to underpin polypharmacological features. Targeting host proteins represents a compelling antiviral strategy as the modulation of host-regulated pathways can suppress dengue virus replication without directly engaging viral proteins, thereby minimizing the risk of resistance. Genesis of 7D discovery, critical determinants were identified for its rational designing to achieve Sirt1 selectivity. Focusing on the antiviral target, CXCR3 was explored via virtual screening of the in-house compound library. Among identified candidates, 7D appeared to be a potential hit, confirmed via
