Optimizing nursery conditions of the commercial kelp
Article in Journal of applied phycology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A global rise in kelp aquaculture has resulted in an increased demand for high quality and quantity kelp seedstock, yet many bottlenecks remain to sustainable scale-up solutions. One such bottleneck is increasing biomass quickly and efficiently in the nursery phase of the kelp cultivation cycle. The microscopic gametophyte is leveraged during this phase, using red light to stimulate vegetative growth and delay onset of gametophyte fertility until deployment. However, red light may make the gametophyte less photosynthetically efficient and thus slow growth. A solution may be growing gametophytes in blue light, which can increase production, while changing the nutrient composition of the media to repress fertility. Here we test the efficacy of light source (blue and red), two common media types (PES and f/2) and iron supplementation on the growth, fertility and photosynthetic parameters of Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10811-025-03665-z.
