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

Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS), a highly fatal tick-borne infectious disease caused by SFTS virus (SFTSV), currently lacks globally approved specific antiviral drugs or vaccines, although favipiravir was approved in Japan for SFTS treatment in June 2024 based on data from non-randomized, uncontrolled single-arm trials. Antibody engineering has emerged as a core strategy against SFTSV, leveraging its advantages of high specificity, potent neutralizing activity, and engineerability. This review systematically examines the mechanisms of action and preclinical progress of monoclonal antibodies, nanobodies, and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) for SFTS treatment. It analyzes translational challenges-including immunogenicity, manufacturing processes, cost control, drug resistance, and clinical trial design-and proposes a strategic prioritization matrix and future research directions such as multispecific antibody development, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted design, combination therapy strategies, and international multicenter collaboration. This review aims to provide a systematic reference for the clinical translation of SFTS antibody therapeutics.
