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

Characterization of Cyanobacteria in lakes with different physicochemical properties provides insights into the diversity of this phylum and knowledge of their features that are relevant to biotechnology applications. Six Cyanobacterial isolates were recovered from freshwater Lake Nasser and saline Lake Qarun, Egypt. The isolates were identified based on both morphology and molecular markers, 16S rRNA, and RuBisCO cbbL genes. The isolates SN1, SN2, SN3, SN4, Q1, and Q2 showed homologies with Merismopedia, Oscillatoria, Limnothrix, Persinema, and Jacksonvillea, respectively. The cbbL sequences for isolates SN1, Q1, and Q2 represented the first records for candidates relating to the genera Merismopedia and Persinema, and Jacksonvillea, respectively. Biochemical contents, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, pigments, and ash-free dry weight were measured for each isolate. Isolate SN2 had the highest content of allophycocyanin, 71 ± 4.8 mg/g DW, and phycoerythrin, 98 ± 6.7 mg/g DW, while the isolate SN4 had the highest composition of total protein, lipid, carotenoid, and chlorophyll a, recording 364.7 ± 6.4 mg/g DW, 67.6 ± 0.2 mg/g DW, 0.261 ± 0.01 mg/g DW, and 10 ± 0.6 mg/g DW, respectively. Isolate Q1 recorded the maximum amount of phycocyanin, 114 ± 20.7 mg/g DW among isolates. The isolate Q2 was observed to have the highest carbohydrate content, 274 ± 14.5 (mg/g DW), and ash-free dry weight, 891.8 ± 2.8 mg/g DW. Thus, the study indicated that the current isolates may represent promising resources for biotechnological applications.
