The Harmful Cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa Differently Affects the Growth Rate and Photosynthetic Efficiency of Several Species of Marine Phytoplankton.
Article in Environmental microbiology reports, 2025. 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
Microcystis aeruginosa is a major cyanobacterium that can secrete toxins, such as microcystin, and causes harmful algal blooms. Despite extensive research on the effects of microcystins on other organisms, research on how introduced M. aeruginosa into estuaries affects marine phytoplankton is scarce. In this study, the effect of M. aeruginosa on the growth of seven representative marine phytoplankton species that inhabit estuaries was determined. The marine phytoplankton species differed in their responses to M. aeruginosa; of the seven species, the growth rate of Akashiwo sanguinea was the most affected by M. aeruginosa cells and filtrate. Moreover, our results revealed that M. aeruginosa affected the growth rate and photosynthetic efficiency of A. sanguinea in a density- and time-dependent manner. Our findings suggest that M. aeruginosa may alter the phytoplankton community structure in estuarine ecosystems.
