Microbial pigments as potential anti-rift valley fever virus drugs.
Article in BMC chemistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Rift valley fever virus (RVFV) is among the WHO list of priority diseases, yet no effective vaccine or treatment is currently available. Microbial pigments (MPs) represent a promising small-molecules library which can be exploited for the drug discovery of anti-RVFV compound. In this study, thirteen MPs were in silico screened to identify candidates with acceptable drug-likeness and possible ability to cross the blood brain barrier. Next, the binding interaction of the filtered molecules were compared against key RVFV proteins for the selection of the optimum inhibitor. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed (200 ns) to further evaluate the interactions. The selected candidate (pyocyanin; PCN) was produced, purified and analytically characterized in-house. Finally, the antiviral potential of PCN was tested in vitro against RVFV using the tissue culture infection dose 50% (TCID
