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

Over the past decades, respiratory virus infections have led to millions of cases of critical illness and deaths in humans. However, the high mutation rate of respiratory viruses greatly reduces the effectiveness of virus-target countermeasures such as vaccines and antibodies, necessitating the development of host-target immunotherapies. In a hamster model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, we observed diverse disease outcomes, delineated the variant-specific lung transcriptome landscape, and demonstrated that a rational combination of pharmacological targeting of innate and adaptive immune responses is sufficient to reduce mortality and severe illness caused by Beta, Delta, and EG.1 variants. The synergism of Poly IC-mediated activation of the innate immune response and FK506-mediated inhibition of the adaptive immune response resulted in significant suppression of both viral load and lung injury. Notably, this strategy is also available in humanized mice infected with SARS-CoV-2, H1N1, and H3N2 influenza viruses, suggesting a potent cross-virus broad-spectrum therapeutic effect.
