Box plot comparing abortive and productive cells shows that abortive hepatocytes retain a smaller fraction of Plasmodium transcriptome across all time points. Middle line in box plot, median; box boundary, IQR; whiskers, 1.5 IQR; minimum and maximum, not indicated in the box plot; gray dots, points beyond the minimum or maximum whisker (Mann–Whitney–Wilcoxon test two-sided with Benjamini–Hochberg correction: 24 and 30 hpi ( n = 1,823 cells across two states); biolord-classify < 0.0001, 36 hpi ( n = 1,083 cells across two states); original < 0.0001; **** P ≤ 0.0001).
