RCT 95 hospitalized COVID-19 patients showing reduced salivary SARS-CoV-2 viral load after rinsing with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) or CPC plus zinc mouthwashes. CPC plus zinc mouthwash reduced viral load by 6.3-fold at 5 minutes, 3.6-fold at 30 minutes, and 1.9-fold at 60 minutes compared to baseline. CPC alone reduced viral load by 2.5-fold at 5 minutes, 1.9-fold at 30 minutes, and 2.0-fold at 60 minutes. Results are only provided for short-term viral load via PCR.
The paper claims inclusion of up to 7 days symptoms, but the clinical data shows many patients with longer delays, up to 11 days.
Analysis of short-term changes in viral load using PCR may not detect effective treatments because PCR is unable to differentiate between intact infectious virus and non-infectious or destroyed virus particles. For example Alemany, Tarragó‐Gil perform RCTs with cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthwash that show no difference in PCR viral load, however there was significantly increased detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein, indicating viral lysis. CPC inactivates SARS-CoV-2 by degrading its membrane, exposing the nucleocapsid of the virus. To better estimate changes in viral load and infectivity, methods like viral culture that can differentiate intact vs. degraded virus are preferred.
This study is excluded in meta analysis: study only provides short-term viral load results.

Background. Symptomatic patients with COVID-19 typically have a high SARS-CoV-2 viral load in their saliva. Procedures to reduce the viral load in their oral cavity are important for mitigating the viral transmission. Methods. This randomized clinical trial investigated the impact of two mouthwashes (0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride plus 0.28% zinc lactate (CPC+Zn) (n = 32), and 0.075% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) (n = 31)) on the viral load of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva when compared to the distilled water negative control (n = 32). Saliva was collected before (T0) and after (5 min, T1; 30 min, T2; and 60 min, T3) the intervention. Viral load in saliva was measured by qRT-PCR assays. The data in both groups was normalized for T0 and Negative Control, resulting in fold change values. Results. CPC+Zn oral solution reduced the viral load in saliva by 6.34-fold at T1, 3.6fold at T2 and 1.9-fold at T3. Rinsing with the CPC mouthwash reduced the viral load in saliva by 2.5-fold at T1, 1.9-fold at T2 and 2.0-fold at T3. Conclusion. CPC+Zn mouthwash or with the CPC mouthwash reduced the viral load in saliva of COVID-19 patients immediately after rinsing. These reductions extended up to 60 min.
