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

Yellow fever virus (YFV) is a deadly mosquito-borne flavivirus that infects approximately 200,000 individuals each year. YFV outbreak and infection are persistent throughout South America and Africa, demonstrating significant epidemic potential. Although an approved and effective vaccine exists, the zoonotic nature of YFV undermines any potential eradication efforts, highlighting the need for effective, direct-acting antivirals. Essential for viral replication, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a proven therapeutic target. A prominent example includes sofosbuvir, a 2'-α-fluoro,2'-β-methyluridine prodrug approved for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV), that has demonstrated efficacy against YFV
