Heterotrophy among Cyanobacteria.
Review in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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.
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 have been studied in recent decades to investigate the principle mechanisms of plant-type oxygenic photosynthesis, as they are the inventors of this process, and their cultivation and research is much easier compared to land plants. Nevertheless, many cyanobacterial strains possess the capacity for at least some forms of heterotrophic growth. This review demonstrates that cyanobacteria are much more than simple photoautotrophs, and their flexibility toward different environmental conditions has been underestimated in the past. It summarizes the strains capable of heterotrophy known by date structured by their phylogeny and lists the possible substrates for heterotrophy for each of them in a table in the Supporting Information. The conditions are discussed in detail that cause heterotrophic growth for each strain in order to allow for reproduction of the results. The review explains the importance of this knowledge for the use of new methods of cyanobacterial cultivation, which may be advantageous under certain conditions. It seeks to stimulate other researchers to identify new strains capable of heterotrophy that have not been known so far.
