Methodological advances in diatom research for aquatic biomonitoring and water quality evaluation.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. 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
Diatoms, a unique class of microalgae, play a pivotal role in global ecosystems due to their photosynthetic capabilities and adaptability to diverse aquatic environments. Composed of opaline silica, they serve as sensitive indicators for water quality monitoring. This review covers various diatom research techniques, including sampling and isolation. It highlights methods for different substrata, such as epiphyton, epipelon, and epipsammon, as well as traditional isolation approaches like agar plate methods and serial dilution. Automation techniques, such as flow cytometry (FACS), are also discussed. The review emphasizes the potential of diatoms for pollutant removal, particularly heavy metals, and presents various diatom-based indices for water quality assessment. Future research is encouraged to refine isolation techniques, enhance the effectiveness of indices, and explore biochemical pathways that could improve diatoms' bioremediation capabilities, thereby fully leveraging their potential for environmental monitoring and remediation.
