Article in MMWR. Morbidity and mortality weekly report, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 first 100 days after identification of an outbreak are important to understanding transmission dynamics, impact of early public health interventions, and trajectory of potential future cases and deaths. A large Ebola disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which has become the country's largest and deadliest, is ongoing. To better understand the current outbreak, this report compared metrics from the first 100 days of this outbreak with those of four past Ebola outbreaks. The historic outbreaks of Ebola disease selected for this comparison include the two largest (the 2014 outbreak in West Africa and a 2018 outbreak in DRC), and the only two previous outbreaks caused by Bundibugyo virus (the 2007 outbreak in Uganda and the 2012 outbreak in DRC). This activity was reviewed by CDC, deemed not research, and conducted consistent with applicable federal law and CDC policy.
