Interferon-alpha/beta receptor deficiency enhances susceptibility to Powassan virus infection in mice.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne flavivirus that causes neurotropic disease in humans. POWV causes fatal encephalitis and meningitis in 10% of human cases and long-term neurological sequelae in 50% of surviving patients. While innate antiviral responses have been extensively studied in mosquito-borne flavivirus infections, they remain less well characterized in the context of tick-borne flaviviruses. In this study, we investigated the role of interferon α/β receptor in the pathogenesis of POWV infection
