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

Microalgae represent an untapped resource for novel biomass production and the subsequent production of feed, food and fuels. Harvesting micro-algal cultures is a technical challenge due to the relatively low concentration of biomass of even dense algal cultures. Flocculating the cells in culture before these steps can simplify harvesting by increasing filterability and settling velocity. Electroflocculation has the advantages of technical simplicity, and potential for integration into a continuous treatment process. In seawater, it is possible to flocculate cells using a non-sacrificial anode such as graphite or titanium, however, this method is complicated by the production of Cl
