Behavior of the extremophile green alga Coccomyxa melkonianii SCCA 048 in terms of lipids production and morphology at different pH values.
Article in Extremophiles : life under extreme conditions, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 extremophile green alga Coccomyxa melkonianii SCCA 048 was investigated to evaluate its ability to grow in culture media with different pH. Specifically, Coccomyxa melkonianii was sampled in the Rio Irvi river (Sardinia, Italy) which is severely polluted by heavy metals as a result of abandoned mining activities. In this study, the strain was cultivated in growth media where the pH was kept fixed at the values of 4.0, 6.8 and 8.0, respectively. During the investigation, a significant phenotypic plasticity of this strain was observed. The strain grew well in the pH range 4.0-8.0, while the optimal value for its growth was 6.8. Furthermore, maximum lipid contents of about 24 and 22 %wt were achieved at the end of cultivation when using pH 4.0 and 8.0, respectively. Finally, the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) highlights the presence of suitable amounts of compounds which can be profitably exploited in the food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industry. This aspect, coupled with the possibility of cultivating Coccomyxa melkonianii under extreme pH conditions in economic open ponds, makes this strain an interesting candidate for several biotechnological applications.
