Metabarcoding Reveals Diversity of Potentially Toxic Algae in Papeete Port (Tahiti).
Article in Toxins, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Harmful algae are transported in various compartments of maritime vessels, making ports with heavy maritime traffic potential hotspots for their introduction and spread. In this study, we investigate the port of Papeete (Tahiti, French Polynesia), a key hub for numerous South Pacific shipping routes. Using metabarcoding on DNA extracted from water samples (environmental DNA, eDNA) we identified 21 species of harmful algae comprising to Bacillariophyceae (4), Dinophyceae (14), and Haptophyta (3 species). Three of those species are directly associated with fish mortality events without recognized toxigenic capacity. The remaining harmful algae species are known to produce a wide range of toxins, like the ciguatoxin produced by endemic
