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

The formation of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the marine environment is detrimental to the ecosystem function affecting the sequence of biological events. Hence, the present study is focused on the seasonal distribution of HAB-forming diatoms and dinoflagellates and their ecological interactions in two tropical estuaries, namely Chapora and Sal in the west coast of India. A total of 17 species of diatoms belonging to nine genera and 13 species of dinoflagellates belonging to eight genera were recorded from the present study (monsoon and non-monsoon season). The redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that the salinity and phosphate concentration influence the distribution of HAB-forming diatoms and dinoflagellates in both the estuaries. Out of 13 species of dinoflagellates observed, six species are known as potentially toxic such as Alexandrium minutum, A. tamarense, A. pseudogonyaulax, Cochlodinium polykrikoides, Prorocentrum micans and Gonyaulax spinifera. Among these estuaries, Sal was represented with a high diversity of toxic species, associated with high phosphate and nitrate content in the water column. Further, the results indicate that the bloom of A. minutum suppressed the growth of other species of diatoms and dinoflagellates, suggesting its possible allelopathic effect.
