1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Microalgae are promising feedstocks for sustainable and eco-friendly production of biomaterials, which can be improved by genetic engineering. It is also necessary to optimize the processes to produce biomaterials from engineered microalgae. We previously reported that genetic improvements of an industrial microalga Nannochloropsis salina by overexpressing a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor (NsbHLH2). These transformants showed an improved growth and lipid production particularly during the early phase of culture under batch culture. However, they had faster uptake of nutrients, resulting in earlier starvation and reduced growth during the later stages. We attempted to optimize the growth and lipid production by growing one of the transformants in continuous culture with variable dilution rate and feed nitrogen concentration. Relative to wild-type, NsbHLH2 transformant consumed more nitrate at a high dilution rate (0.5 day
