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

Therapeutic approaches to COVID-19 treatment require appropriate inhibitors to target crucial proteins of SARS-CoV-2 replication machinery. It's been approximately 12 months since the pandemic started, yet no known specific drugs are available. However, research progresses with time in terms of high throughput virtual screening (HTVS) and rational design of repurposed, novel synthetic and natural products discovery by understanding the viral life cycle, immuno-pathological and clinical outcomes in patients based on host's nutritional, metabolic, and lifestyle status. Further, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches have also improved resiliency and immune responses. In this article, we summarize all the therapeutic antiviral strategies for COVID-19 drug discovery including computer aided virtual screening, repurposed drugs, immunomodulators, vaccines, plasma therapy, various adjunct therapies, and phage technology to unravel insightful mechanistic pathways of targeting SARS-CoV-2 and host's intrinsic, innate immunity at multiple checkpoints that aid in the containment of the disease.
