Microalgal diversity fosters stable biomass productivity in open ponds treating wastewater.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
It is established that biodiversity determines productivity of natural ecosystems globally. We have proved that abiotic factors influenced biomass productivity in engineered ecosystems i.e. high rate algal ponds (HRAPs), previously. This study demonstrates that biotic factors, particularly microalgal diversity, play an essential role in maintaining stable biomass productivity in HRAP treating municipal wastewater by mutualistic adaptation to environmental factors. The current study examined data from the second year of a two-year study on HRAP treating municipal wastewater. Microalgal diversity, wastewater characteristics, treatment efficiency and several environmental and meteorological factors were documented. Multivariate statistical analyses reveal that microalgae in uncontrolled HRAPs adapt to adverse environmental conditions by fostering diversity. Subsequently, five dominant microalgal strains by biovolume were isolated, enriched, and optimum conditions for high biomass productivity were ascertained. These laboratory experiments revealed that different microalgal strains dominate in different conditions and a consortium of these diverse taxa help in sustaining the algae community from environmental and predatory pressures. Diversity, niche or seasonal partitioning and mutualistic growth are pertinent in microalgal cultivation or wastewater treatment. Therefore, enrichment of selective species would deprive the collective adaptive ability of the consortium and encourage system vulnerability especially in wastewater treatment.
