Transcriptome of Taenia solium during in vitro cyst activation and initial growth into the tapeworm stage.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The cestode Taenia solium develops as a tapeworm solely in the human intestine, starting from a larva (cyst). Upon maturing, it produces hundreds of thousands of infectious eggs. When ingested by pigs or humans, the eggs develop as cysts that lodge in various tissues, including the brain, leading to neurocysticercosis. Despite advances in understanding cestode biology through genomic and transcriptomic studies, particularly in model organisms, much remains unknown about the activation of T. solium cysts in the human digestive tract and the events that drive the development into adult worms-the stage responsible for dispersing the parasite. We present a transcriptome generated by Next Generation Sequencing from T. solium cysts activated in culture and collected at three different in vitro growth phases, defined by their morphology. Differentially expressed genes and biological processes relevant to activation and growth can be explored with the dataset. The information is valuable for identifying genes that regulate the molecular, metabolic, and cellular events leading to parasite maturation or elements driving its transmission.
