Competition between toxic and non-toxic Microcystis aeruginosa and its ecological implication.
Article in Ecotoxicology (London, England), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 frequency of toxic cyanobacterial blooms has increased in recent decades, but the factors that regulate the dominance of toxin-producing cyanobacteria over non-toxin-producing strains of one species are still obscure. This study examined the effects of temperature, light intensity, nitrate and phosphate on the dominance of MC-producing and non-MC-producing strains of Microcystis aeruginosa in monoculture and co-culture experiments. In the monoculture experiments, growth rates of the non-MC-producing strain were higher than those of the MC-producing strain under the same growth conditions. However, at the end of the co-culture experiments, the MC-producing strain became surprisingly dominant in all treatments except when treated with extreme low phosphate concentrations. Higher temperatures and nutrient levels can shift the dominance more quickly towards the toxic strain. The dominance may be explained by allelopathic interactions through allelochemicals and other secondary metabolites, but not MC. Environmental factors such as extremely low phosphate content may exert an indirect effect on strain dominance by changing the production of allelochemicals. Our findings highlight the complications in predicting competitive outcome for cyanobacterial strains in natural environments.
