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

The high lethality of the Ebola virus (EBOV) underscores the critical need to understand its molecular lifecycle. Here, we systematically mapped EBOV-host interactions using affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) and proximity labeling, generating a comprehensive protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, of which 1728 are high-confidence core PPIs involving nine EBOV proteins and 914 human interactors. Notably, we identified transmembrane 9 superfamily member 2 (TM9SF2) as a novel attachment factor that facilitates EBOV glycoprotein (GP)-mediated entry. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of EBOV GP associates with the extracellular domain (ECD) of TM9SF2, enhancing cellular adhesion and viral attachment. Moreover, the anti-TM9SF2 antibodies effectively attenuated EBOV GP-mediated pseudovirus entry and infection in vitro. Additionally,
