Scatter Plot from Scientific Research

For graphical clarity point estimates for some continuous variables are aggregated: date of admission (month) and RT-PCR cycle threshold (rounded to nearest integer). Best fit lines and corresponding 95% CI bands for continuous variables (G–I) are based on univariate generalised linear mixed-effect models with binomial error (ie, logistic regression), always fit to original, unaggregated continuous variables. The dashed horizontal lines indicate the mean CFR among all EVD-positive patients. (J) Each point represents a facility. CFR=case fatality risk. EVD=Ebola virus disease.
