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 biodiversity and taxonomy of colonial volvocine green algae are important in ancient lakes in tropical regions. However, few taxonomic studies of these algae have been conducted in African ancient lakes. Here, we describe two species of colonial volvocine green algae in cultures originating from water samples from Lake Victoria, an ancient lake in Africa. One was identified as an undescribed morphological species of Eudorina; E. compacta sp. nov. This new species can be distinguished from other Eudorina species by its compactly arranged vegetative cells that form a hollow ellipsoidal colony. The other was identified as Colemanosphaera charkowiensis. The genus Colemanosphaera is new to Africa.
