A glimpse into the future: How the timing of sea ice formation influences associated microalgal communities.
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study investigates the impact of unseasonable storm events in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, in 2022 on eukaryotic microalgal communities (EMCs). We assessed EMCs from the fast-ice and sub-ice platelet layer (SIPL) associated with fast-ice formed during March (historical timing) and September (five months later). We compared three ice conditions: March-ice (fast ice with SIPL, frozen in March), September-ice (fast ice with SIPL, frozen in September), and September-no-SIPL (fast-ice without SIPL, frozen in September). Using metabarcoding and light microscopy, results showed higher diversity in March-ice EMCs compared to September-no-SIPL. Community structure was significantly influenced by ice condition and ice type. March-ice had the most unique ASVs, of all ice conditions. Biomass peaked in March-ice SIPLs at 25-50 cm, while September-ice SIPLs peaked at 0-25 cm. These findings demonstrate delayed ice formation alters EMC structure, diversity, and biomass, potentially impacting primary productivity, nutrient cycling, and Antarctic sea ice ecosystems.
