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

Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms known for their agricultural and industrial importance. Unavailability of efficient and fast isolation and purification methods of cyanobacteria has impeded our understanding of cyanobacterial diversity. A number of techniques for isolation and purification of cyanobacteria are available, but most of them are cumbersome as well as time-consuming. In the present study, we modified and validated a uni-algal isolation technique named as Microscope Assisted Uni-algal isolation through Dilution (MAU-D) which used dilution of mixed algal population on slide and isolation of single type of cyanobacterial cells using light microscope. Using this technique, we obtained 81 cyanobacterial isolates belonging to various species from 19 different genera from soil and water samples collected from rice fields of Uttar Pradesh, India. This technique also resulted in isolation of six distinct genera, viz., SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13205-021-02890-w.
