Long-term toxicity of ZnO nanoparticles to Scenedesmus rubescens cultivated in different media.
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 7 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 aim of this work was to investigate the long-term toxic effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) on freshwater microalgae, combined with the nutrient consumption in the culture. For this purpose, two common microalgae media (Blue-Green 11, BG-11, and Bold's Basal Medium, BBM) were used. Scenedesmus rubescens was used as freshwater microalgae model species and was exposed to ZnO NPs at different concentrations (0.081 to 810 mg/L) for a period up to 28 d. The experimental results revealed that microalgae growth was affected by the time of exposure and the NPs concentrations, but mainly the culture medium used. Differences in microalgae growth rates were observed and attributed to the selected culture medium. The toxic effect of ZnO NPs was higher on microalgae cultured in modified BG-11 compared to BBM, despite the fact that S. rubescens exhibited higher growth rate in modified BG-11 without the exposure of ZnO NPs.
