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

Animal models are key tools for understanding Marburg virus (MARV) pathogenesis and evaluating novel countermeasures. Rodents, in particular, are useful model systems because they are inexpensive and easy to house and handle in maximum containment laboratories. Unfortunately, wild-type MARV, like other filoviruses, does not cause disease in immune-competent rodents and must first be adapted to the rodent host, typically through serial passaging. In this way, mouse-adapted MARV (MA-MARV) variant Angola was generated through multiple passages in SCID mice. MA-MARV is uniformly lethal in BALB/c mice and produces many of the hallmarks associated with Marburg virus disease in humans and nonhuman primates, including robust virus replication, a dysregulated immune response, and extensive organ damage. In this chapter, we describe a protocol for inoculating mice with MA-MARV for the purpose of evaluating countermeasures.
