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

There are many viruses known to cause viral hemorrhagic fevers in humans. The mechanisms causing hemorrhage are likely to vary among viruses. Some viruses, such as Marburg virus, are directly cytopathic to infected endothelial cells, suggesting infection of endothelial cells alone can cause hemorrhage. On the other hand, there are viruses which infect endothelial cells without causing any cytopathic effects, suggesting the involvement of host immune responses in developing hemorrhage. Typical examples of these include viruses of the hantavirus species. We hypothesize that impairment of endothelial cell's defense mechanisms against cytotoxic CD8+ T cells is the mechanism of capillary leakage in hantavirus pulmonary syndrome and hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, which may be common to other viral hemorrhagic fevers. CD8+ T cells may be a potential target for therapy of some viral hemorrhagic fevers.
