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

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe and often fatal illness characterized by aggressive viral replication, dysregulated immunity, and multi-organ dysfunction. Emerging evidence demonstrates that microRNAs (miRNAs), both host-derived and virus-encoded, play essential regulatory roles throughout the course of Ebola virus (EBOV) infection. Host miRNAs are widely dysregulated across different tissues and cell types during infection and contribute to antiviral defense, viral persistence, immune suppression, endothelial dysfunction, and hemorrhagic pathology. In parallel, EBOV generates its own miRNA-like molecules that target key host signaling pathways, including nuclear transport, interferon responses, apoptosis regulation, and inflammatory cascades. These dual layers of miRNA crosstalk shape infection outcomes by modulating viral replication, immune evasion, cellular adhesion, and vascular leakage. Additionally, several host and viral miRNAs show strong potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and recent work suggests that therapeutic modulation through miRNA mimics or inhibitors may offer new antiviral strategies. This review synthesizes current evidence on miRNA interactions during EBOV infection and outlines their implications for disease pathogenesis, clinical outcomes, and translational applications.
