Cycloprodigiosin: A multispecies settlement cue for scleractinian coral larvae.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The survival of coral reefs depends on the rejuvenation of coral populations with the potential to adapt and survive a changing climate. Assisted sexual reproduction has become an important tool in reef management. One bottleneck is the efficient and manageable induction of coral larval settlement. Here we report cycloprodigiosin (CYPRO) as a multispecies cue which induces complete larval settlement at rates between 40 and 93% in four brooding and five broadcast spawning species. All nine tested species showed similar uptake and conversion of CYPRO (photolytic degradation), which together initiate and complete the transition to successful settlement. Due to its chemical stability and low water solubility, the component can be easily stored, transported and applied on clean substrates, which might increase the chances of survival of the settled recruits. Thus, this broad settlement cue has the chance to advance reef restoration projects.
