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

objectiveChanges in the partitioning of dissolved inorganic (DIC) and glucose were elucidated by utilising

resultsMixotrophic cultivation increases microalgal productivity and changes their biochemical profile, due to an alteration in the partitioning of carbon within the cell. When cultured mixotrophically and heterotrophically, there is enhanced incorporation of carbon into shorter chain saturated fatty acids and non-lipid biomass, compared to photoautotrophic cultivation. Autotrophic culture results in increased total fatty acid content of cultures (4.19% dry weight compared to 2.13%) and shifts the fatty acid profile in favour of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, such as 18:2 n-(9,12), compared to mixotrophic culture. Quantifying the changes in partitioning between DIC and glucose facilitates tailoring of the biochemical profile to develop "designer" algae.

conclusionsThere is a condition specific shift in carbon partitioning into different fatty acid and biochemical fractions in T. suecica, with more inorganic carbon partitioned into 18:2 n-(9,12) in photoautotrophic rather than mixotrophic cultures.
