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

backgroundThe genus Dictyota includes ecologically important brown seaweed species that, apart from contributing to the foundation of the marine ecosystem, are gaining traction for their economic value. Substantial research has focused on taxonomy, chemical composition, ecological roles, and economic potential of Dictyota, including studies on genetics and genomics. METHODS &

resultsHere, we developed twelve novel microsatellite markers for Dictyota dichotoma by using Ion Torrent sequencing. The markers were tested using 50 diploid individuals collected from five natural populations of D. dichotoma. The number of alleles per locus varied between five and thirteen. The total heterozygosity ranged from 0.587 to 0.887 per locus, and from - 0.147 to 0.483 in five populations across its European range.

conclusionsThese polymorphic microsatellite markers are valuable for studying population genetic diversity and differentiation in D. dichotoma and may also be beneficial for other genetic research related to the reproductive biology of this model species, which displays considerable variation across the species' range.
