Indomethacin inhibits human seasonal coronaviruses at late stages of viral replication in lung cells: Impact on virus-induced COX-2 expression.
Article in Journal of virus eradication, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Coronaviruses (CoV), zoonotic viruses periodically emerging worldwide, represent a constant potential threat to humans. To date, seven human coronaviruses (HCoV) have been identified: HCoV-229E, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-OC43 and HCoV-HKU1, globally circulating in the human population (seasonal coronaviruses, sHCoV), and three highly-pathogenic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Although sHCoV generally cause only mild respiratory diseases, severe complications may occur in specific populations, highlighting the need for broad-spectrum anti-coronavirus drugs. Herein we show that indomethacin (INDO), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug widely used in the clinic for its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, effectively inhibits the replication of
