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

As one of the deadliest viruses, Ebola virus (EBOV) causes lethal hemorrhagic fevers in humans and nonhuman primates. The suppression of innate immunity leads to robust systemic virus replication of EBOV, leading to enhanced transmission. However, the mechanism of EBOV-host interaction is not fully understood. Here, we identified multiple dysregulated genes in early stage of EBOV infection through transcriptomic analysis, which are highly clustered to Jak-STAT signaling. EBOV VP35 and VP30 were found to inhibit type I interferon (IFN) signaling. Moreover, exogenous expression of VP35 blocks the phosphorylation of endogenous STAT1, and suppresses nuclear translocation of STAT1. Using serial truncated mutations of VP35, N-terminal 1-220 amino acid residues of VP35 were identified to be essential for blocking on type I IFN signaling. Remarkably, VP35 of EBOV suppresses type I IFN signaling more efficiently than those of Bundibugyo virus (BDBV) and Marburg virus (MARV), resulting in stable replication to facilitate the pathogenesis. Altogether, this study enriches understanding on EBOV evasion of innate immune response, and provides insights into the interplay between filoviruses and host.
