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

purposeThe influenza A virus still remains one of the most dangerous pathogens possessing a high potential for the emergence of pandemic strains. However, there are only a few antivirals which are still effective against this virus. So-called viral fusion inhibitors are considered as a relatively new class of such drugs with a high therapeutic potential.

methodsWe combined a system for monitoring the fusion of individual virions with lipid membranes, molecular dynamics simulations and measurements of affinity of charged molecules to lipid membranes. This allowed us to determine the mechanism of action of the antiviral drug.

resultsWe demonstrated that the additional mode of activity of triazavirin, the azoloazine derivative, passed clinical trials, can be an inhibition of the hemagglutinin of the influenza A virus. Combining experimental and computer approaches, we report a more effective modification of the target molecule than the registered drug triazavirin. Additionally, we suggested screening system, which has a good potential for studying the fusion activity and its inhibition for other viruses and potential antiviral drugs acting on viral fusion proteins.

conclusionsWe report here triazavirin as a fusion inhibitor and propose a new molecule with high activity against influenza A virus, surpassing those of the triazavirin.
