Balancing Host Defense and Viral Tolerance for the Development of Next-Generation Broad-Spectrum Antiviral Agents.
Review in Pathogens (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
The human immune system has evolved to cope with various virus infections using two major strategies: host defense and viral tolerance. The host defense relies on the innate and adaptive immune responses to control virus replication, while the viral tolerance allows sufficient virus replication in the host with minimal or no clinical signs. Generally, a balanced host defense and viral tolerance can guarantee health from infections, while disturbed immune homeostasis usually results in diseases. It is desirable to develop drugs/therapeutics to enhance the invulnerability of host immune equilibrium to combat viral infections. In this review, we summarize the advanced understanding on mechanisms of both the host defense against and tolerance to virus infections, and therapeutic agents/approaches that work by modulating the balance between host defense and tolerance.
