Swinging between the beneficial and harmful microbial community in biofloc technology: A paradox.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Biofloc Technology (BFT) is proven to be the fulcrum of sustainable recirculating aquaculture system especially under zero water discharge condition. The efficiency of BFT system is reinforced by an unswerving microbial community in the system. Several researchers have made copious reports on the microorganisms in BFT and identified heterotrophic bacteria predominant in the microbial composition. A summary of these researches considers these microorganisms playing the role of chemo-photosynthetic autotrophs, organic detoxifiers, probiotic, decomposers/bioflocculants, bio-leachers and pathogens. Although these functional roles are well identified, the reports have failed to sufficiently illustrate the borderline at which these microbial communities fail to serve their beneficial roles in BFT system. This review paper firstly presents a snapshot of some indispensable water quality conditions and zootechnical variables aided by the microbial community in floc as well as the amphibolic process that synthesizes nutrient from the organic deposit in BFT. Furthermore, information on the microbial community in BFT is evaluated to have
