Edibility of cultivated green seaweed Ulva intestinalis from Monkhali Beach, Cox's Bazar coast of Bangladesh: bio-toxicity and heavy metal contents.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ulva intestinalis (UI) is widely available edible seaweed and has potential to be introduced as functional food items in Bangladesh. However, potential health hazards of this seaweed with biotoxicity assays and its relation to heavy metal contents were not evaluated previously. With these objectives, toxic effects of UI collected from floating raft culture in Monkhali Beach was evaluated using various organisms such as Chlorella vulgaris, Artemia salina, Daphnia magna, and Lactuca sativa. In relation to this effects, heavy metal concentrations (Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and As) and its potential health hazards were subsequently analyzed. The results showed that UI water extract had positive effects on the survivability and growth of the all-test organisms over different time periods, with minimal LC50 values, indicating no toxic to tested organisms. However, increased levels of total dissolved solids and electrical conductivity were observed as extract concentrations increased but considered to be safe below 5 mg kg
