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) is a newly emerging tick‑borne infectious disease caused by the novel Bunyavirus/SFTS virus (SFTSV). The clinical manifestations mainly include fever, thrombocytopenia and multi‑organ dysfunction, with a fatality rate as high as 30%. Since its first report in China in 2009, cases have subsequently emerged in multiple countries across East and Southeast Asia. SFTS demonstrates clear seasonal trends from May to November and tends to cluster geographically, mainly in hilly and mountainous areas. The virus is transmitted through tick bites, animal contact and human‑to‑human transmission. Its genetic diversity and frequent genetic recombination exacerbate public health threats. Pathogenic mechanism studies have shown that SFTSV uses glycoproteins Gn/Gc to mediate host cell invasion. In the early stage, the virus uses its non‑structural protein NSs to inhibit innate immune signal transduction. Massive replication of the virus leads to excessive immune activation, triggering cytokine storms and abnormal platelet activation, and eventually resulting in bleeding and multiple organ failure. The clinical management primarily relies on supportive care, while broad‑spectrum antiviral drugs and neutralizing antibodies remain investigational. Although numerous vaccine candidates have been designed and developed, none have progressed to clinical trials. This review systematically integrates current knowledge spanning virology, epidemiology, pathogenic mechanisms, therapeutic interventions and vaccine development, offering actionable insights for public health strategies and clinical practice.
