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
Carotenoids are pigments responsible for the red-orange colorations in valuable food products, and they can be produced via biotechnological means through microorganisms. Beyond their role as natural colorants, some carotenoids offer significant health benefits due to their antioxidant properties, making them valuable nutritional additives in the food industry. However, obtaining these compounds from natural sources with high quantity and purity poses challenges which reduces its market share when produced through a biotechnological route. This study proposes utilizing nutritional and physical stress to enhance carotenoid production, specifically torularhodin, using the yeast Rhodotorula glutinis CCT-2186. A Design of Experiments approach identified malt extract as the most suitable nitrogen source for maximizing carotenoid production. Furthermore, introducing a surfactant (Tween 80) in the culture medium, and extending the cultivation time to 96 h, led to an increase in torularhodin production, reaching a notable 2.097 mg/mL (377,68% more when compared to the initial condition) under the best condition [(%w/v): dextrose (1), KH
