HABS-BLOCKS© Inhibited
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Toxins produced by cyanobacteria are a threat to drinking water and the aquatic ecosystem. Previously, we reported that adding glucose to lake water could reduce cyanobacterial populations. To target the glucose to the euphotic zone, floating HABS-BLOCKS© infused with glucose were created. On 12 June 2024, 24 L of bloom lake water was collected, and then 6 L was aliquoted into each of four 7 L mesocosms. Two HABS-BLOCKS© were added to each of two replicate treatment mesocosms, while two "Dummy" HABS-BLOCKS© (same but without glucose) were added to each of two control mesocosms. Cyanobacteria cell densities and microcystin concentrations were measured weekly. Total nitrogen and phosphorus and other water quality variables including dissolved oxygen, specific conductivity, and turbidity were measured at the end of the six-week experiment. Initially,
