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

This study evaluates the inhibitory effect of a yeast strain, Aureobasidium pullulans KKUY0701, isolated from decayed cyanobacterial bloom against harmful cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa and determines the ability of this strain to remove microcystin (MC) toxin from the water. The antialgal activity of this yeast strain was assayed by co-cultivation with M. aeruginosa, diatom, and green algal species. The MC adsorption experiment was conducted in the presence of living and heat-inactivated yeast cells. Both yeast cells and filtrates caused a rapid reduction in the growth of M. aeruginosa, with complete death and cell lysis occurring after 3 days. The yeast strain did not exhibit any inhibitory effect on either green algae or diatoms. Both living and heat-inactivated yeast cells were capable of adsorption of MC on their surfaces. Inactivated yeast exhibited higher adsorption capacity and lower intensity than living yeast for the adsorption of MC toxin. The results of this study suggest that this yeast strain could be employed to selectively reduce cyanobacterial blooms in freshwaters. Moreover, the application of heat-inactivated yeast's biomass for toxin adsorption gives new possibilities in drinking water treatment plants.
