The Art of Exploring Diatom Biosilica Biomaterials: From Biofabrication Perspective.
Review in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Diatom is a common single-cell microalgae with large species and huge biomass. Diatom biosilica (DB), the shell of diatom, is a natural inorganic material with a micro-nanoporous structure. Its unique hierarchical porous structure gives it great application potential in drug delivery, hemostat materials, and biosensors, etc. However, the structural diversity of DB determines its different biological functions. Screening hundreds of thousands of diatom species for structural features of DB that meet application requirements is like looking for a needle in a seaway. And the chemical modification methods lack effective means to control the micro-nanoporous structure of DB. The formation of DB is a typical biomineralization process, and its structural characteristics are affected by external environmental conditions, genes, and other factors. This allows to manipulate the micro-nanostructure of DB through biological regulation method, thereby transforming the screening mode of the structure function of DB from a needle in a seaway to biofabrication mode. This review focuses on the formation, biological modification, functional activity of DB structure, and its application in biomaterials field, providing regulatory strategies and research idea of DB from the perspective of biofabrication. It will also maximize the possibility of using DB as biological materials.
