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

Introduction: A filamentous green alga forming significant biomass on twigs and needles was observed to have increased invasively in Denmark in recent decades. It was particularly abundant in coniferous plantations in western parts of Denmark that experience the highest modelled concentration of atmospheric nitrogen deposition. However, its species identity and taxonomy remained unknown. Material and methods: Selected algal samples from various substrates were analyzed for their ribosomal DNA sequences, metagenomic, and biochemical compounds [polyols and mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs)]. Results: Phylogenetic analyses revealed the alga's position within the Trebouxiophyceae (Chlorophyta), forming an independent lineage within Discussion: The presence of low molecular weight carbohydrates and the unique MAA in
