Broad-Spectrum Virucidal Activity of Polymer Cryogel-Loaded Formic Acid Against a Panel of Naked and Enveloped Viruses.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Viruses cause a great number of infectious diseases with medical, veterinary, agricultural, social and economic impact. Their unique mechanisms to spread, overcome and resist the existing countermeasures require innovative and smart antiviral strategies such as the effective disinfection of enclosed environments with ensured broad-spectrum efficacy and minimized risks associated with handling liquid biocides. Formic acid (FA) is a well-established natural acaricide used in beehives with an antiviral potential; however, its application in a liquid form is hindered by severe corrosiveness and rapid, uncontrolled evaporation. This study describes a novel formulation of FA, using a cryogel carrier for achieving a vapor-phase inactivation of viruses, thus eliminating the need for direct contact between the disinfectant and the pathogen. Firstly, a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) cryogel was synthesized by a procedure involving cryogenic treatment, photochemical crosslinking, and freeze-drying, and then the cryogel was swollen with 65% FA or
