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

Although there are no approved countermeasures available to prevent or treat disease caused by Marburg virus (MARV), potently neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) derived from B cells of human survivors have been identified. One such mAb, MR191, has been shown to provide complete protection against MARV in nonhuman primates. We previously demonstrated that prophylactic administration of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing MR191 protected mice from MARV. Here, we modified the AAV-MR191 coding sequence to enhance efficacy and reevaluated protection in a guinea pig model. Remarkably, 4 different variants of AAV-MR191 provided complete protection against MARV, despite administration 90 days prior to challenge. Based on superior expression kinetics, AAV-MR191-io2, was selected for evaluation in a dose-reduction experiment. The highest dose provided 100% protection, while a lower dose provided ∼88% protection. These data confirm the efficacy of AAV-mediated expression of MR191 and support the further development of this promising MARV countermeasure.
