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

The Ebola virus disease (EVD) epidemic that occurred in West Africa between 2014-16 resulted in over 28,000 cases and 11,000 deaths - one of the deadliest to date. A generalized model of the spatiotemporal progression of EVD for Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone in 2014-16 remains elusive. There is also a disconnect in the literature on which interventions are most effective in curbing disease progression. To solve these two key issues, we designed a hybrid agent-based and compartmental model that switches from one paradigm to the other on a stochastic threshold. We modeled disease progression with promising accuracy using WHO datasets.
