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

Marburg virus (MARV) is the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever outbreaks with high case fatality rates. Closely related to Ebola virus, MARV is a filamentous virus with a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. Although extensive studies on filovirus countermeasures have been conducted, there are no licensed treatments against MARV infections. An experimental vaccine based on the recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) expressing the MARV-Musoke glycoprotein demonstrated complete protection when a single dose was administered 28 days and up to 14 months prior to MARV challenge. Here, we analyzed the protective efficacy of an updated vaccine expressing the MARV-Angola glycoprotein (VSV-MARV). A single dose of VSV-MARV given 5 weeks before challenge provided uniform protection with no detectable viremia. The vaccine induced B and T cell proliferation and, importantly, antigen-specific IgG production. Transcriptomic signatures confirm these findings and suggest innate immunity engendered by VSV-MARV may direct the development of protective humoral immunity.
