Orthopox viruses and the safety margins of solvent-detergent treated plasma-derived medicinal products.
Article in Transfusion, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe currently ongoing outbreak of monkeypox virus in many non-endemic countries around the world has also raised concerns about the safety of plasma-derived medicinal products. Based on what is known about the poxviridae, that is, that members are exceedingly large and carry a lipid envelope, effective removal and inactivation by plasma product manufacturing processes is expected. For the widely used solvent-detergent (S/D) treatments, however, poxviruses have been reported as potentially being a bit more resistant. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsUsing a S/D mixture comprising tri-n-butyl-phosphate, polysorbate 80 and Triton X-100 (TX-100), inactivation of vaccinia virus (a model closely resembling monkeypox virus, both within the same genus, i.e., Orthopoxvirus) in a plasma-derived process intermediate was analyzed over 60 min. As use of Triton X-100 will, based on environmental concerns, be restricted, similar experiments were conducted with a physicochemically virtually identical alternative, Nereid.
resultsFast inactivation of vaccinia virus to the assay detection limit, that is, reduction of infectivity by greater than 4 log
conclusionAs for other lipid-enveloped viruses, treatment of process intermediates with S/D mixtures containing TX-100 or the closely related detergent Nereid are highly effective in inactivating poxviruses. Thus, the current spread of monkeypox virus does not compromise the viral safety margins of plasma-derived medicines.
