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

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a major public health concern due to its overwhelming spread into the Americas. Currently, there are neither licensed vaccines nor antiviral therapies available for the treatment of ZIKV. We aimed to identify and rationally optimize effective therapeutic regimens for ZIKV by evaluating the antiviral potentials of the approved broad-spectrum antiviral agents favipiravir (FAV), interferon alpha (IFN), and ribavirin (RBV) as single agents and in combinations. For these studies, Vero cells were infected with ZIKV in the presence of increasing concentrations of FAV, IFN, or/and RBV for 4 days. Supernatants were harvested daily, and the viral burden was quantified by a plaque assay on Vero cells. The time course of the viral burden during treatment
