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

African swine fever (ASF), caused by African swine fever virus (ASFV), is a highly contagious disease that has brought severe economic losses to the global swine industry. ASFV dUTPase is a key enzyme modulating viral nucleotide metabolism and genome stability, serving as a specific structural target for anti-ASF lead discovery. Based on the crystal structure of ASFV dUTPase (Georgia 2008/1 strain), we established a molecular docking model to virtually screen a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) compound library following ADME-based filtration. We further conducted 100 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations via GROMACS and calculated binding free energies using the MM/PBSA method, followed by in vitro enzymatic inhibition assays for verification. Four candidate compounds, namely Salvianolic acid B, Kukoamine B, Ligustroflavone and 9‴-Methyl salvianolic acid B, showed favorable structural accommodation and binding potential. In vitro tests indicated that Ligustroflavone and 9‴-Methyl salvianolic acid B exhibited preliminary inhibitory activity against ASFV dUTPase, with IC
