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 virus (SFTSV) is an emerging bunyavirus that causes severe viral hemorrhagic fever and thrombocytopenia syndrome with a fatality rate of up to 30%. No licensed vaccines or therapeutics are currently available for humans. Here, we develop seven monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against SFTSV surface glycoprotein Gn. Mechanistic studies show that three neutralizing mAbs (S2A5, S1G3, and S1H7) block multiple steps during SFTSV infection, including viral attachment and membrane fusion, whereas another neutralizing mAb (B1G11) primarily inhibits the viral attachment step. Epitope binning and X-ray crystallographic analyses reveal four distinct antigenic sites on Gn, three of which have not previously been reported, corresponding to domain I, domain II, and spanning domain I and domain II. One of the most potent neutralizing mAbs, S2A5, binds to a conserved epitope on Gn domain I and broadly neutralizes infection of six SFTSV strains corresponding to genotypes A to F. A single dose treatment of S2A5 affords both pre- and post-exposure protection of mice against lethal SFTSV challenge without apparent weight loss. Our results support the importance of glycoprotein Gn for eliciting a robust humoral response and pave a path for developing prophylactic and therapeutic antibodies against SFTSV infection.
