Mapping transcriptional patterns of MPXV in human epithelial cells.
Article in Emerging microbes & infections, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 2022 global outbreak of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) clade IIb highlighted changes in transmission dynamics, clinical features, and tissue tropism, yet the impact of host cell origin on viral transcription remains unclear. We performed comparative transcriptomic profiling of MPXV clade IIb in human epithelial cell lines from vaginal, intestinal, ectocervical, and renal tissues. Temporal analysis in vaginal cells revealed two major transcriptional clusters: early genes enriched for host-virus interaction factors in terminal genome regions, and intermediate-late genes encoding transcription, replication, and morphogenesis functions in the core genome. Some genes were expressed at each time point and comprised transcripts encoding signal transduction and inflammation-modulating factors. Single-time point comparisons linked higher viral particle production in vaginal and intestinal cells to intermediate-late gene enrichment, whereas ectocervical and renal cells favoured host-virus interaction transcripts. Several genes, including those that modulate signal transduction pathways, were highly expressed across different cell types. These findings reveal cell-type-dependent modulation of MPXV transcription and identify conserved and variable viral factors that may inform antiviral strategies.
