Preliminary screening of the aqueous extracts of twenty-three different seaweed species in Sri Lanka with
Article in Heliyon, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundSeaweeds are an important source of bioactive compounds which are applied in various aspects of medicinal investigations. The present study was conducted to investigate cytoxicity (
methodsTwenty-three seaweed samples, belonging to Phaeophyta (Brown), Chlorophyta (Green) and Rhodophyta (Red) were used for the experiments. Samples were collected from the inter-tidal and the sub-tidal habitats around Sri Lankan coast (Southern, Northern and North-western). Aqueous seaweed extracts were tested for cytotoxic and wound healing activity;
resultsPhytochemical tests showed positive results to flavonoids in all the selected green seaweeds and alkaloids were observed in red seaweeds. In the toxicity assay, red seaweed,
conclusionsAqueous extracts of selected seaweeds are a significant source of potential compounds with wound healing properties, which might be helpful in the healing of various wounds. This also infers that many species of brown and red seaweeds have the potential of wound healing, specifically,
