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

Premise: Seaweeds are gaining substantial research interest, particularly for genomic applications, where high-quality DNA is a prerequisite. Extracting DNA from these organisms presents challenges due to high levels of biomacromolecules resulting from their diverse cell structures. Existing protocols often lack versatility, leading to inconsistent outcomes across various materials and taxa, which highlights the need for a universal method for use with a variety of green seaweed samples. Methods and Results: We optimized the conventional cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) protocol for green seaweed DNA extraction. Our method, involving an initial sample treatment, lysis buffer adjustment, and enzyme incubation alterations, outperformed the conventional CTAB and commercial kits in terms of DNA yield and purity. Notably, the protocol's effectiveness was demonstrated across various green algal materials and preservation methods, and was tested with downstream applications with satisfactory results. Conclusions: Our optimized CTAB protocol offers a reliable solution for high-quality genomic DNA extraction from a wide variety of green seaweed samples.
