The influence of different storage conditions on
Article in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Cyanobacterium Limnospira indica is being explored for oxygen production and carbon dioxide removal from air in future space stations. Before activation in space, it undergoes a transport and storage phase lasting from one to several weeks, during which it must remain dormant. This study examines the effects of dormancy in dark and cold conditions on L. indica's photosynthetic performance and biomass composition after storage. Results showed that storage negatively affects photosynthetic growth and biomass composition, but the impact depends on factors such as initial cell concentration, medium pH, cell pigment content, nutrient and gas availability, and storage duration. Storage was also tested under simulated microgravity conditions, but no adverse effects of reduced gravity were observed when healthy cultures were used.
