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

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne febrile illness with wide geographic distribution. In humans, the disease follows infection by the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and begins as flu-like symptoms that can rapidly progress to hemorrhaging and death. Case fatality rates can be as high as 30%. An important gap in our understanding of CCHF are the host immune responses necessary to control the infection. A better understanding of these responses is needed to direct therapeutic strategies to limit the often-severe morbidity and mortality seen in humans. In this report, we have utilized a mouse model in which mice develop severe disease but ultimately recover. T-cells were robustly activated, differentiated to produce antiviral cytokines, and were critical for survival following CCHFV infection. We further identified a key role for interferon gamma (IFNγ) in survival following CCHFV infection. These results significantly improve our understanding of the host adaptive immune response to severe CCHFV infection.
