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

The flatworm Schistosoma mansoni is an important but neglected pathogen that causes the disease schistosomiasis in millions of people worldwide. The parasite has a complex life cycle, undergoing sexual reproduction in a mammalian host and asexual replication in a snail host. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that the parasite uses to transition between hosts and develop into dimorphic reproductively competent adults may reveal new strategies for control. We present the first comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of S. mansoni, from eggs to sexually naïve worms. Focusing on eight life stages spanning free-living water-borne and parasitic stages from both intermediate and definitive hosts, we have generated deep RNA-seq data for five replicates per group for a total of 75 data sets. The data were produced using a single approach to increase the accuracy of stage-to-stage comparisons and made accessible via a user-friendly tool to visualise and explore gene expression ( https://lifecycle.schisto.xyz/ ). These data are valuable for understanding the biology and sex-specific development of schistosomes and the interpretation of complementary genomic and functional genetics studies.
