Thraustochytrids: Evolution, Ultrastructure, Biotechnology, and Modeling.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The thraustochytrids are a group of marine protists known for their significant ecological roles as decomposers and parasites as well as for their potential biotechnological applications, yet their evolutionary and structural diversity remains poorly understood. Our review critically examines the phylogeny of this taxa, utilizing available up-to-date knowledge and their taxonomic classifications. Additionally, advanced imaging techniques, including electron microscopy, are employed to explore the ultrastructural characteristics of these organisms, revealing key features that contribute to their adaptive capabilities in varying marine environments. The integration of this knowledge with available omics data highlights the huge biotechnological potential of thraustochytrids, particularly in producing ω-3 fatty acids and other bioactive compounds. Our review underscores the importance of a systems biology approach in understanding thraustochytrids biology and highlights the urgent need for novel, accurate omics research to unlock their full biotechnological potential. Overall, this review aims to foster a deeper appreciation of thraustochytrids by synthesizing information on their evolution, ultrastructure, and practical applications, thereby providing a foundation for future studies in microbiology and biotechnology.
