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 2013-2016 Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa, which also spread to the USA, UK and Europe, was the largest reported outbreak till date (World Health Organization. 2016. https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/208883/ebolasitrep_10Jun2016_eng.pdf;jsessionid=8B7D74BC9D82D2BE1B110BAFFAD3A6E6?sequence=1 ). The recent Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has raised immense global concern on this severe and often fatal infection. Although sporadic, the severity and lethality of Ebola virus disease outbreaks has led to extensive research worldwide on this virus. Vaccine (World Health Organization. 2016. https://www.who.int/en/news-room/detail/23-12-2016-final-trial-results-confirm-ebola-vaccine-provides-high-protection-against-disease ; Henao-Restrepo et al. Lancet 389:505-518, 2017) and drug (Hayden. Nature, 557, 475-476, 2018; Dyall et al. J Infect Dis 218(suppl_5), S672-S678, 2018) development efforts against Ebola virus are research hotspots, and a few approved therapeutics are currently available (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/clinicians/vaccine/index.html; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/treatment/index.html). Ebola virus has evolved several mechanisms of host immune evasion, which facilitate its replication and pathogenesis. This chapter describes the Ebola virus morphology, genome, entry, replication, pathogenesis and viral proteins involved in host immune evasion. Further understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of immune evasion may facilitate development of additional novel and sustainable strategies against this deadly virus.
