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

Polyphasic approach has become a generally accepted method for the classification of cyanobacteria. In this study, we present a detailed characterisation of two strains, KUCC C1 and KUCC C2, isolated from the Curonian Lagoon and classified to the Aphanizomenon genus. Despite phylogenetic similarity, the strains differ with respect to morphology, ultrastructure characteristics, and the metabolite profile. In the KUCC C1 extract, three unknown peptides and eight anabaenopeptins were detected, while KUCC C2 produced one unknown peptide and one aeruginosin. In both strains, a total of eleven pigments were detected. The production of myxoxantophyll, chlorophyll-a, chlorophylide-a, and zeaxanthin was higher in KUCC C2 than in KUCC C1. Extracts from both strains of Aphanizomenon also had different effects in antibacterial, anticancer and enzyme inhibition assays. Comprehensive analyses of Aphanizomenon strains performed in this study showed significant diversity between the isolates from the same bloom sample. These differences should be considered when exploring the ecological significance and biotechnological potential of a given population.
