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

Ebola virus and other orthoebolaviruses cause severe haemorrhagic fevers in humans, with very high case fatality rates. Their non-segmented single-stranded RNA genome encodes only seven structural proteins and a small number of non-structural proteins to facilitate the virus life cycle. The basics of this life cycle are well established, but recent advances have substantially increased our understanding of its molecular details, including the viral and host factors involved. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of our current knowledge of the molecular details of the orthoebolavirus life cycle, with a special focus on proviral host factors. We discuss the multistep entry process, viral RNA synthesis in specialized phase-separated intracellular compartments called inclusion bodies, the expression of viral proteins and ultimately the assembly of new virus particles and their release at the cell surface. In doing so, we integrate recent studies into the increasingly detailed model that has developed for these fundamental aspects of orthoebolavirus biology.
