Efficacy evaluation of the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor MSD-914 in rhesus macaques (Macaca Mulatta) challenged with Ebola virus by the intramuscular route.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans for which effective postexposure countermeasures are lacking. Herein, we describe the evaluation of an S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor, MSD-914, using mouse and nonhuman primate (NHP) models of lethal EBOV. Mice were completely protected from severe disease and death at doses as low as 0.31 mg/kg/day administered orally. From the pharmacological data and a toxicokinetic study, a predicted protective dose was selected for rhesus macaques (RMs). Surprisingly, orally administered MSD-914 was unable to protect RMs at doses as high as 0.8 mg/kg/day despite providing similar exposure of the drug to the efficacious dose observed in the mouse model.
