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

The growing prominence of Ulva in aquaculture is driven by its adaptability, rapid growth, nutritional advantages, and diverse biochemical composition. These green macroalgae have gained increasing attention for cultivation in lower salinity areas, expanding aquaculture beyond traditional euhaline environments. Our study investigated the distribution of economically valuable compounds in the most prominent Ulva crop species of the wider Baltic Sea region. We included 249 populations across the full Atlantic-Baltic Sea transect (>3000 km) and took into account prevailing fluctuating abiotic factors like salinity and nutrient regimes during the vegetation peak season. We revealed an overall trend of increasing crude protein content with increasing salinity in species with occurrence along the whole Atlantic-Baltic Sea transect (U. intestinalis: slope = 0.29; U. linza: slope = 0.09) and those only present in higher salinity regions (U. compressa: slope = 0.36; U. fenestrata: slope = 0.18) and confirmed an increase of pigments with increasing nitrogen tissue levels for most species (U. compressa: r
