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

Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms functioning as the green bio-factories for various pharmaceutical and biofuel products. To date, numerous attempts have been carried out to manipulate culture conditions to maximize the production of the desired metabolites. Because light is the energy source of microalgae for their growth and metabolites biosynthesis, it has been one of the most investigated variables emphasized on the deep understanding of how microalgae respond towards light changes as an external stimulus. This review discusses the effects of different light sources, light intensities, light wavelengths and length of photoperiod on various microalgae species, especially in terms of biomass and lipid productivity. Additionally, the relationship between photoregulation processes and lipid productivity of microalgae are also deliberated. The current available approaches of microalgae mass cultivation, including different types of open and closed systems are recapitulated with the intention to highlight the significant insights for the design of future photoreactors.
