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

Filovirus outbreaks caused by Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), pose severe global health threats characterized by high rates of fatal hemorrhagic fever. While species-specific vaccines and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are approved for Zaire ebolavirus, broadly-active therapeutics remain unavailable, leaving populations vulnerable to MARV and other pathogenic Ebola species, such as Bundibugyo (BDBV) and Sudan (SUDV) ebolaviruses. Here we report a computationally guided, infectious virus validated screening platform for the rapid discovery of broad-spectrum filovirus antivirals. By leveraging quantitative structure- activity relationship (QSAR) models, we screened 142,382 compounds
