Role of the Ebola membrane in the protection conferred by the three-mAb cocktail MIL77.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
MIL77, which has a higher manufacturing capacity than ZMapp, comprises MIL77-1, MIL77-2, and MIL77-3. The mechanisms by which these antibodies inhibit glycoprotein are unclear. Infection by viruses with lipid-bilayer envelopes occurs via the fusion of the viral membrane with the membrane of the target cell. Therefore, the interaction between the antibodies and the EBOV membrane is crucial. We examined the interactions between MIL77 and the viral membrane using SPR. MIL77-1 selectively binds to viral membranes, while MIL77-2 and MIL77-3 do not. MIL77-1's ability to screen the more rigid domains of the membranes results in a locally increased concentration of the drug at the fusion site. Although MIL77-2 recognizes an epitope of GP, it is not necessary in the MIL77 cocktail. These results highlight the importance of EBOV membrane interactions in improving the efficiency of a neutralizing antibody. Furthermore, the viral membrane may be an important target of antibodies against EBOV.
