Molecular detection, quantification, and diversity evaluation of microalgae.
Review in Marine biotechnology (New York, N.Y.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This study reviews the available molecular methods and new high-throughput technologies for their practical use in the molecular detection, quantification, and diversity assessment of microalgae. Molecular methods applied to other groups of organisms can be adopted for microalgal studies because they generally detect universal biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins. These methods are primarily related to species detection and discrimination among various microalgae. Among current molecular methods, some molecular tools are highly valuable for small-scale detection [e.g., single-cell polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), and biosensors], whereas others are more useful for large-scale, high-throughput detection [e.g., terminal restriction length polymorphism, isothermal nucleic acid sequence-based amplification, loop-mediated isothermal amplification, microarray, and next generation sequencing (NGS) techniques]. Each molecular technique has its own strengths in detecting microalgae, but they may sometimes have limitations in terms of detection of other organisms. Among current technologies, qPCR may be considered the best method for molecular quantification of microalgae. Metagenomic microalgal diversity can easily be achieved by 454 pyrosequencing rather than by the clone library method. Current NGS, third and fourth generation technologies pave the way for the high-throughput detection and quantification of microalgal diversity, and have significant potential for future use in field monitoring.
